Wild Lilies

Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or lilies:

    “From my experience with wild apples, I can understand that there may be reason for a savage’s preferring many kinds of food which the civilized man rejects. The former has the palate of an outdoor man. It takes a savage or wild taste to appreciate a wild fruit.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Sabrina fair,
    Listen where thou art sitting
    Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
    In twisted braids of lilies knitting
    The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
