Flowers

Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

“If anyone should want to know my name, I am called Leah. And I spend all my time weaving garlands of flowers with my fair hands, to please me when I stand before the mirror; my sister Rachel sits all the day long before her own, and never moves away. She loves to contemplate her lovely eyes; I love to use my hands to adorn myself: her joy is in reflection, mine in act.”
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)

“When we locked up the house at night,
We always locked the flowers outside
And cut them off from window light.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Then amongst flowers and springs,
Making delightful sport,
Sat lovers without conflict, without flame;”
—Torquato Tasso (1544–1595)
