Here are cool mosses deep, And thro' the moss the ivies creep, And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep, And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep. - Lord Alfred Tennyson, Th Lotos-Eaters--Choric Song (pt. I) The daisy, primrose, violet darkly blue; And polyanthus of unnumbered dyes. - James Thomson (1), Seasons--Spring (st. 8) A snow of blossoms, and a wild of flowers. - Thomas Tickell He who does not love flowers has lost all love and fear of God. - Ludwig Tieck There is to the poetical sense a ravishing prophecy and winsome intimation in flowers that now and then, from the influence of mood of circumstance, reasserts itself like the reminiscence of childhood, or the spell of love. - Henry Theodore Tuckerman To analyze the charms of flowers is like dissecting music; it is one of those things which it is far better to enjoy than to attempt to understand. - Henry Theodore Tuckerman Take the flower from my breast, I pray thee, Take the flower, too, from out my tresses; And then go hence; for, see, the night is fair, The stars rejoice to watch thee on thy way. - collected by Helene Vacaresco, Bard of the Dimbovitza; Romanian Folksongs Fade, flowers, fade! Nature will have it so; 'tis but what we in our autumn do. - Edmund Waller I regard them, as Charles the Emperor did Florence, that they are too pleasant to be looked upon except on holidays. - Izaak Walton A love-tint flushes the wind-flower's cheek, Rich melodies gush from the violet's beak, On the rifts of the rock, the wild columbines grow, Their heavy honey-cups bending low. - Mrs. Sarah Helen Power Whitman These children of the meadows born Of sunshine and of showers! - John Greenleaf Whittier Along the river's summer walk, The withered tufts of asters nod; And trembles on its arid stalk The hoar plume of the golden-rod. And on a ground of sombre fir, And azure-studded juniper, The silver birch its buds of purple shows, And scarlet berries tell where bloomed the sweet wild-rose! - John Greenleaf Whittier, The Last Walk in Autumn Lovely flowers are smiles of God's goodness. - Dr. Samuel Wilberforce But when they had unloosed the linen band, Which swathed the Egyptian's body,--lo! was found, Closed in the wasted hollow of her hand, A little seed, which, sown in English ground, Did wondrous snow of starry blossoms bear, And spread rich odours through our springtide air. - Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde), Athanasia (st. 2) There is to me a daintiness about early flowers that touches me like poetry. They blow out with such a simple loveliness among the common herbs of pastures, and breathe their lives so unobtrusively, like hearts whose beatings are too gentle for the world. - Nathaniel Parker Willis The very flowers are sacred to the poor. - William Wordsworth, Admonition To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. - William Wordsworth, Intimations of Immortality And 'tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes. - William Wordsworth, Lines Written in Early Spring The flower of sweetest smell is shy and lowly. - William Wordsworth, Sonnet--Not Love, Not War, Nor, etc. Hope smiled when your nativity was cast, Children of Summer! - William Wordsworth, Staffa Sonnets--Flowers on the Top of the Pillars at the Entrance of the Cave The mysteries that cups of flowers infold And all the gorgeous sights which fairies do behold. - William Wordsworth, Stanzas written in Thomson's Castle of Indolence There bloomed the strawberry of the wilderness; The trembling eyebright showed her sapphire blue, The thyme her purple, like the blush of Even; And if the breath of some to no caress Invited, forth they peeped so fair to view, All kinds alike seemed favourites of Heaven. - William Wordsworth, The River Duddon--Flowers (VI) Pansies, lilies, kingcups, daisies, Let them live upon their praises. - William Wordsworth, To the Small Celandine Let one thousand flowers bloom. - Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-Tung) (Chairman Mao) Displaying page 8 of 8 for this topic: << Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [8]
