White Daisies

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or daisies:

    Then came Corinna in a long loose gown,
    Her white neck hid with tresses hanging down,
    Resembling fair Semiramis going to bed,
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    When daisies pied and violets blue,
    And lady-smocks, all silver-white,
    And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
    Do paint the meadows with delight,
    The cuckoo then on every tree
    Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
    Cuckoo!
    Cuckoo, cuckoo—O word of fear,
    Unpleasing to a married ear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
