Roses/art

Famous quotes containing the words roses and/or art:

“O night,
you take the petals
of the roses in your hand,
but leave the stark core
of the rose
to perish on the branch.”

Spirits to enforce, art to enchant,
And my ending is despair,
Unless I be relieved by prayer,
Which pierces so that it assaults
Mercy itself, and frees all faults.”
