Solomon in All His Glory...
He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower. Mary Howitt Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time. Georgia O'Keeffe Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem, or saying a prayer. Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I hate flowers-I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move. Georgia O'Keeffe Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decypher even fragments of their meaning. Lydia M. Child Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens... Thomas De Quincey My wife once planted morning glories in our vegetable garden. They took over the corn and strangled it to death. If she ever does that again, I am going to tie her arms to her sides with baling twine. Fred First |
I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some. Herbert Rappaport
