Wild Lilies

Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or lilies:

    The feathers of the willow
    Are half of them grown yellow
    Above the swelling stream;
    And ragged are the bushes,
    And rusty now the rushes,
    And wild the clouded gleam.
    Richard Watson Dixon (1833–1900)

    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)
