Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or roses:
““That rough tooth of the sea,” Kineo, great source of arrows and of spears to the ancients, when weapons of stone were used.”

“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.”
