Flowers

Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

    “He told of the Magnolia, spread
    High as a cloud, high over head!
    The Cypress and her spire;
    MOf flowers that with one scarlet gleam
    Cover a hundred leagues, and seem
    To set the hills on fire.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “Twas on a lofty vase’s side,
    Where China’s gayest art had dyed
    The azure flowers that blow;
    Demurest of the tabby kind,
    The pensive Selima reclined,
    Gazed on the lake below.”
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    “At anchor she rides the sunny sod,
    As full to the gunnel of flowers growing
    As ever she turned her home with cod
    From Georges Bank when winds were blowing.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
