Famous quotes containing the word rose:
“No prayers or incense rose up in those hours
Which grew to be years, and every day came mute
Ghosts from the ovens, sitting through crisp air,
And settled upon his eyes in a black soot.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
“A blank helpless sort of face, rather like a rose just before you drench it with D.D.T.”
—John Carey (b. 1934)
