Famous quotes containing the word flowers:
“But oh, not the hills of Habersham,
And oh, not the valleys of Hall
Avail: I am fain for to water the plain.
Downward, the voices of Duty call
Downward, to toil and be mixed with the main,
The dry fields burn, and the mills are to turn,
And a myriad flowers mortally yearn,
And the lordly main from beyond the plain
Calls oer the hills of Habersham,
Calls through the valleys of Hall.”
—Sidney Lanier (18421881)
“I got me flowers to straw thy way;
I got me boughs off many a tree;
But thou wast up by break of day,
And broughtst thy sweets along with thee.”
—George Herbert (15931633)
“The flowers anew, returning seasons bring!
But beauty faded has no second spring.”
—Ambrose Philips (16741749)
