Flower Heads

Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or heads:

    ““Fenced early in this cloistral round
    Of reverie, of shade, of prayer,
    How should we grow in other ground?
    How can we flower in foreign air?
    MPass, banners, pass, and bugles, cease;
    And leave our desert to its peace!””
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “My travel’s history,
    Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle,
    Rough quarries, rocks, and hills whose heads touch heaven,
    It was my hint to speak—such was my process—
    And of the cannibals that each other eat,
    The anthropophagi, and men whose heads
    Do grow beneath their shoulders.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
