Flowers

Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

    Well, something for a snowstorm to have shown
    The country’s singing strength thus brought together,
    That though repressed and moody with the weather
    Was nonetheless there ready to be freed
    And sing the wild flowers up from root and seed.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    There beneath the Roman ruin where the purple flowers grow,
    Came that “Ave atque Vale” of the poet’s hopeless woe,
    Tenderest of Roman poets nineteen hundred years ago,
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    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)
