Flower Constancy

Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or constancy:

“and men strive with each other not for power or the accumulation of paper
but in joy create for others the house, the poem, the game of

Then washed in the brightness of the vision,
I saw how in its radiance would grow and be nourished and suddenly
burst into terrible and splendid bloom
the blood-red flower of revolution.”
—Dudley Randall (b. 1914)
