Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

    What is green? The grass is green,
    With small flowers between.

    In the summer twilight.
    What is orange? Why, an orange,
    Just an orange!

    Here’s flowers for you:
    Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram,
    The marigold, that goes to bed wi’the sun,
    And with him rises, weeping.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The pallor of girl’s brows shall be their pall;
    Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
    And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
