Rose Bud

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or bud:

    Let him
    Who was love’s teacher teach you too love’s cure;
    Let the same hand that wounded bring the balm.
    Healing and poisonous herbs the same soil bears,
    And rose and nettle oft grow side by side.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    the bud packed
    tight with its miracle swayed
    stiffly on breaths
    of air, moved

    as though impelled
    by stirrings within itself.
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
