Flowering

Famous quotes containing the word flowering:

“What
Reply can the vast flowering strike from us,
Unless it be the one
You make today in London: to be married?”

Dances like Italy, imagining red.”

“Surely among a rich man’s flowering lawns,
Amid the rustle of his planted hills,
Life overflows without ambitious pains;
And rains down life until the basin spills,
And mounts more dizzy high the more it rains
As though to choose whatever shape it wills....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
