Wild Lilies

Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or lilies:

    What were our praise to them? They eat
    Quiet’s wild heart, like daily meat;
    Who when night thickens are afloat
    On dappled skins in a glass boat,
    Far out under a windless sky;
    While over them birds of Aengus fly....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage
    And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die,
    We Poets of the proud old lineage
    Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why,
    James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)
