Flowering Plants

Famous quotes containing the words flowering and/or plants:

    we, outlaws on God’s property,
    Fling out imagination beyond the skies,
    Wishing a tangible good from the unknown.
    And likewise death will drive us from the scene
    With the great flowering world unbroken yet,
    Which we held in idea, a little handful.
    Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)

    From the time the Englishman’s bones harden into bones at all, he makes his skeleton a flagstaff, and he early plants his feet like one who is to walk the world and the decks of all the seas.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)
