Roses/art

Famous quotes containing the words roses and/or art:

“There is sweet music here that softer falls
Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
Or night-dews on still waters between walls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass;
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
