Flowers

Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

“Hark, hark, the lark at heaven’s gate sings,
And Phoebus’ gins arise,
His steeds to water at those springs
On chaliced flowers that lies;
And winking Mary-buds begin to ope their golden eyes;
With every thing that pretty is, my lady sweet, arise;
Arise, arise!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The flowers anew, returning seasons bring!
But beauty faded has no second spring.”
—Ambrose Philips (1674–1749)

“The flowers are ravined
by bees, the fruit blossoms

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