Flowers

Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

“The flowers are ravined
by bees, the fruit blossoms

are thrown to the ground, the wind
the rain forces everything.”

Is love’s bed always snow?”

May bloom in prison air;
The shard, the pebble, and the flint,
Are what they give us there:
For flowers have been known to heal
A common man’s despair.”
