How can one help
shivering with delight when one's hot fingers close around the stem of a live
flower, cool from the shade and stiff with newborn vigor.
Colette
Perfumes are the
feelings of flowers.
Heinrich Heine
Flowers whisper
'Beauty!' to the world, even as they fade, wilt, fall.
Dr. Sun Wolf
There is that in
the glance of a flower which may at times control the
greatest of creation's
braggart lords.
John Muir
When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread
with one,
and a lily with the other.
Chinese Proverb
Luke Wallace
I wandered
lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth
