Buds

Famous quotes containing the word buds:

    Pale hands, pink-tipped, like Lotus buds that float
    On those cool waters where we used to dwell,
    I would have rather felt you round my throat
    Crushing out life than waving me farewell!
    Laurence Hope (1865–1904)

    I am weary of days and hours,
    Blown buds of barren flowers,
    Desires and dreams and powers
    And everything but sleep.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    The buds swell imperceptibly, without hurry or confusion, as if the short spring days were an eternity.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
