Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flowers:
“It was the pine alone, chiefly the white pine, that had tempted any but the hunter to precede us on this route.”

“All the flowers of the spring
Meet to perfume our burying;
These have but their growing prime,
And man does flourish but his time.
Survey our progress from our birth—
We are set, we grow, we turn to earth”
