I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows
Quite over canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with elgantine.
- William Shakespeare
Break open
A cherry tree
And there are no flowers,
But the spring breeze
Brings forth myriad blossoms.
- Ikkyu Sojun
Thou cannot stir a flower
Without troubling a star.
- Francis Thompson
flowers really do intoxicate me.
- Vita Sackville-West
