Famous quotes containing the words flowering and/or plants:
“What
Reply can the vast flowering strike from us,
Unless it be the one
You make today in London: to be married?”

But plants new set to be eradicate,
And buds new blown, to have so short a date,
Is by his hand alone that guides nature and fate.”
