I'd be a butterfly, born in a bower, Where roses and lilies and violets meet. - Thomas Haynes Bayly (Bayley), I'd be a Butterfly Gray sail against the sky, Gray butterfly! Have you a dream for going. Or are you the blind wind's blowing? - Dana Burnet, A Sail at Twilight Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. - Nathaniel Hawthorne With the rose the butterfly's deep in love, A thousand times hovering round; But round himself, all tender like gold, The sun's sweet ray is hovering found. - Heinrich Heine, Book of Songs--New Spring (no. 7) Butterflies are not insects. . . . They are self-propelled flowers. - Robert A. Heinlein, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls Far out at sea,--the sun was high, While veer'd the wind and flapped the sail, We saw a snow-white butterfly Dancing before the fitful gale, Far out at sea. - Richard Hengist (Henry) Horne, Genius The gold-barr'd butterflies to and from And over the waterside wander'd and wove As heedless and idle as clouds that rove And drift by the peaks of perpetual snow. - Joaquin Miller (pseudonym of Cincinnatus Hiner Miller), Songs of the Sun-Lands--Isles of the Amazons (pt. III, st. 41) And many an ante-natal tomb When butterflies dream of the life to come. - Percy Bysshe Shelley, Sensitive Plant Much converse do I find in thee, Historian of my infancy! Float near me; do not yet depart! Dead times revive in thee: Thou bring'st, gay creature as thou art! A solemn image to my heart. - William Wordsworth, To a Butterfly
