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 it blood clots the tendrils are dragging up that string?
No, no, it is scarlet flowers that will one day be edible.”

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.”
