Famous quotes containing the word violet:

    It were as wise to cast a violet into a crucible that you might discover the formal principle of its colour and odour, as seek to transfuse from one language into another the creations of a poet. The plant must spring again from its seed, or it will bear no flower—and this is the burthen of the curse of Babel.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    I think the King is but a man, as I am. The violet smells to
    him as it doth to me.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A violet in the youth of primy nature,
    Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
