Rose Tree

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or tree:

“All things uncomely and broken, all things worn out and old,
The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart,
The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the wintry mould,
Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“the scythers, Time and Death,
Helmed locusts, move upon the tree of breath;”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
