With A Mosaic "Forget Me Not"
- Accept and wear this constant flower,
- Thus copied out by art.
- It blooms in Nature but its hour,--
- For ever in the heart.
- Affections into habits grown,--
- Lives fastened in one lot,--
- The flower has strengthened into stone
- We name "Forget me not."

Famous quotes containing the words with a and/or forget:
“Poetry is concerned with using with abusing, with losing
with wanting, with denying with avoiding with adoring
with replacing the noun. It is doing that always
doing that, doing that and doing nothing but that.
Poetry is doing nothing but using losing refusing and
pleasing and betraying and caressing nouns. That is
what poetry does, that is what poetry has to do no
matter what kind of poetry it is. And there are a
great many kinds of poetry.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The goods of fortune ... were never intended to be talked out of the world.—But as virtue and true wisdom lie in the middle of extremes,—on one hand, not to neglect and despise riches, so as to forget ourselves,—and on the other, not to pursue and love them so, as to forget God;Mto have them sometimes in our heads,—but always something more important in our hearts.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
