White Flowers

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flowers:

    Everyone has left me
    except my muse,
    that good nurse.
    She stays in my hand,
    a mild white mouse.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It is an odd jealousy: but the poet finds himself not near enough to his object. The pine-tree, the river, the bank of flowers before him, does not seem to be nature. Nature is still elsewhere.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
