Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or lilac:
“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Just now the lilac is in bloom,
All before my little room;”
—Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)
