Flowers

Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

    “Hark, hark, the lark at heaven’s gate sings,
    And Phoebus’ gins arise,
    His steeds to water at those springs
    On chaliced flowers that lies;
    And winking Mary-buds begin to ope their golden eyes;
    With every thing that pretty is, my lady sweet, arise;
    Arise, arise!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The flowers without clothes live,
    Yet Solomon was never dressed so fine.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “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)
