White Flowers

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flowers:

    As if that hand
    squeezing crow’s blood
    against a white sky
    beside an idiot’s laughing face
    were real.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Sweet ladies, long may ye bloom, and toughly I hope ye may thole,
    But was she not lucky? In flowers and lace and mourning,
    In love and great honor we bade God rest her soul
    After six little spaces of chill, and six of burning.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
