Violet

Famous quotes containing the word violet:

“A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye!
Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

sternly allotted sandpile
Mhow silently
emit a tiny violet flavoured nuisance: Odor?

o no.
comes out like a ribbon lies flat on the brush”

“At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
