Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flowers:
“Live and let live, believe and let believe.
‘Twas said the lesser gods were only traits
Of the one awful God. Just so the saints
Are God’s white light refracted into colors.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Chaucer is fresh and modern still, and no dust settles on his true passages. It lightens along the line, and we are reminded that flowers have bloomed, and birds sung, and hearts beaten in England. Before the earnest gaze of the reader, the rust and moss of time gradually drop off, and the original green life is revealed. He was a homely and domestic man, and did breathe quite as modern men do.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
