Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or roses:
“Ye could not know where lies a thing so fair,
No stone is there to show, no tongue to say,
What was; no dirge, except the hollow sea’s,
Mourns o’er the beauty of the Cyclades.”

“What slender Youth bedew’d with liquid odours
Courts thee on Roses in some pleasant Cave,”
