White Flowers

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flowers:

    With sweetest milk, and sugar, first
    I it as mine own fingers nurst.
    And as it grew, so every day
    It wax’d more white and sweet than they.
    It had so sweet a Breath!
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    And so I will take back up my poor life, so plain and so tranquil, where phrases are adventures and the only flowers I gather are metaphors.
