'Tis my faith that every flower enjoys the air it breathes!
- William Wordsworth
Red rose, proud rose, sad rose of all my days!
Come near me, while I sing the ancient ways.
- William Butler Yeats
God loved the flowers and invented soil. Man loved the flowers and invented vases.
- Variation of a saying by Jacques Deval
Deep in their root, all flowers keep the light.
- Theodore Roethke
