Famous quotes containing the words flower, mound, high and/or school:
“One flower may slay the winter
and meet death.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street,
Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder’s gone,
I must lie down where all the ladders start,
In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Under an old oak, whose boughs were mossed with age
And high top bald with dry antiquity.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.”
