Among the Roses


Go pretty rose, go to my fair,
Go tell her all I fain would dare,
Tell her of hope; tell her of spring,
Tell her of all I fain would sing,
Oh! were I like thee, so fair a thing.
- Michael Beverly, Go Pretty Rose



"For if I wait," said she, "Till time for roses be,
For the moss-rose and the musk-rose,
Maiden-blush and royal-dusk rose,
What glory then for me
In such a company?
Roses plenty, roses plenty
And one nightingale for twenty?"

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, A Lay of the Early Rose

After a cup of tea, [we think...] 'Now rise and show your strength. Be eloquent, and deep, and tender; see, with a clear eye, into nature and into life; spread your white wings of quivering thought, and soar, a [wise] spirit, over the whirling world beneath you, up through long lanes of flaming stars to the gates of eternity!'

--Jerome K. Jerome in Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog!)

Shop


The quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her.

The Welcome Garden


What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome.
Are not flowers the stars of the earth,
and are not our starts the flowers of the heaven.
- A.J. Balfour
