Roses/art

Famous quotes containing the words roses and/or art:

“There is sweet music here that softer falls
Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
Or night-dews on still waters between walls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass;
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“A burglar who respects his art always takes his time before taking anything else.”
—O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
