Famous quotes containing the word gardens:

    “Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
    She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
    She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
    But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
