Daisies

Famous quotes containing the word daisies:

    “When daisies pied and violets blue,
    And lady-smocks, all silver-white,
    And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
    Do paint the meadows with delight,
    The cuckoo then on every tree
    Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
    Cuckoo!
    Cuckoo, cuckoo—O word of fear,
    Unpleasing to a married ear.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “they can be both daisies and bruises.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “... counted the stars, my little campaigners,
    my scar daisies ...”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
