Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flowers:
“There has fallen a splendid tear
From the passion-flower at the gate.
She is coming, my dove, my dear;
She is coming, my life, my fate;
The red rose cries, ‘She is near, she is near;’
And the white rose weeps, ‘She is late;’
The larkspur listens, ‘I hear, I hear;’
And the lily whispers, ‘I wait.’”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“The flowers are ravined
by bees, the fruit blossoms
are thrown to the ground, the wind
the rain forces everything.”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)
