White Roses

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or roses:

    No more the white refulgent streets,
    Never the dry hollows of the mind
    Shall he in fine courtesy walk
    Again, for death is not unkind.

    you heap roses above a grave;
    a woman under the earth
    is safe,
    a woman dead
    is beloved.
