Wild Lilies

Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or lilies:

    As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye,
    Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort,
    Rising and cawing at the gun’s report,
    Sever themselves and madly sweep the sky—
    So at his sight away his fellows fly.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I met a little Elf-man, once,
    Down where the lilies blow.
    I asked him why he was so small
    And why he didn’t grow.
    John Kendrick Bangs (1862–1922)
