Famous quotes containing the words purple and/or rain:

    “Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
    It fell upon a little western flower,
    Before, milk-white; now purple with love’s wound:
    And maidens call it “love-in-idleness.””
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The flowers are ravined
    by bees, the fruit blossoms

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