God gave us our memories so that we might have roses in December.
- J. M. Barrie
Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.
- Heinrich Heine
To me, the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
- William Wordsworth
Observe this dew-drenched rose of Tyrian gardens
A rose today. But you will ask in vain
Tomorrow what it is, and yesterday
It was the dust, the sunshine, and the rains.
- Christina rosetti
