Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or violets:
“O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn’s being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“Lay her i’th’earth,
And from her fair and unpolluted flesh
May violets spring.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
