Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or flower:

    Is there any religion but this, to know, that, wherever in the wide desert of being, the holy sentiment we cherish has opened into a flower, it blooms for me? If none sees it, I see it; I am aware, if I alone, of the greatness of the fact. Whilst it blooms, I will keep sabbath or holy time, and suspend my gloom, and my folly and jokes.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Eva!” Each syllable
    Light as a flower fell;
    “Eva!” he whispered the
    Wondering maid;
    Ralph Hodgson (c. 1871–1962)
