Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or fyleman:

    Cling with life to the maid;
    But when the surprise,
    First vague shadow of surmise
    Flits across her bosom young,
    Of a joy apart from thee,
    Free be she, fancy-free;
    Nor thou detain her vesture’s hem,
    Nor the palest rose she flung
    From her summer diadem.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I think mice
    Are rather nice.

    Their tails are long,
    Their faces small,
    They haven’t any
    Chins at all.
    —Rose Fyleman (1877–1957)
