“We love to see any redness in the vegetation of the temperate zone. It is the color of colors. This plant speaks to our blood.... What a perfect maturity it arrives at! It is the emblem of a successful life concluded by a death not premature, which is an ornament to Nature. What if we were to mature as perfectly, root and branch, glowing in the midst of our decay, like the poke!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There be none of beauty’s daughters
With a magic like thee;
And like music on the waters
Is thy sweet voice to me:”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
