flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.
-Henry Ward Beckford
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
- Leo Buscaglia
Since Iris is the Greek goddess for the Messenger of Love, her sacred flower is considered the symbol of communication and messages.
Greek men would often plant an iris on the graves of their beloved women as a tribute to the goddess Iris, whose duty it was to take the souls of women to the Elysian fields.
- Hana No Monogatari
Lone and erect, beneath light's primal flood,
A lily! and pure as any one of you.
- Mallarme
