Roses

Famous quotes containing the word roses:

    But all its chief delight was still
    On Roses thus its self to fill:
    And its pure virgin Limbs to fold
    In whitest sheets of Lillies cold.
    Had it liv’d long it would have been
    Lillies without, Roses within.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    O night,
    you take the petals
    of the roses in your hand,
    but leave the stark core
    of the rose
    to perish on the branch.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The roses you lifted to your lips ... lucky roses!
    Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
