Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flowers:
“The white mans mullein soon reigned in Indian corn-fields, and sweet-scented English grasses clothed the new soil. Where, then, could the red man set his foot?”

Meet to perfume our burying;
These have but their growing prime,
And man does flourish but his time.
Survey our progress from our birth
We are set, we grow, we turn to earth”
