Famous quotes containing the word flowers:
“My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one,
and come away.
For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;”
—Bible: Hebrew The Song of Solomon (l. II, 1012)
“One of the joys our technological civilisation has lost is the excitement with which seasonal flowers and fruits were welcomed; the first daffodil, strawberry or cherry are now things of the past, along with their precious moment of arrival. Even the tangerinenow a satsuma or clementineappears de-pipped months before Christmas.”
—Derek Jarman (b. 1942)
“All for me? And not a question
For the faded flowers gay
That could take me from beside you
For the ages of a day?”
