Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

“When we locked up the house at night,
We always locked the flowers outside
And cut them off from window light.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“The flowers are ravined
by bees, the fruit blossoms

are thrown to the ground, the wind
the rain forces everything.”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)

“The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.”
—Freya Stark (1893–1993)
