Famous quotes containing the words garden and/or designer:

    He would declare and could himself believe
    That the birds there in all the garden round
    From having heard the daylong voice of Eve
    Had added to their own an oversound,
    Her tone of meaning but without the words.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Mother, Father,
    so young, so hot, so jazzy,
    so like Zelda and Scott
    with drinks and cigarettes and turbans
    and designer slacks and frizzy permanents....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
