The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places
in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.- Gertrude S. Wister
The Amen! of Nature is always a flower.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies.
- Christopher Marlowe
Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God,
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes -
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.
- Elizabeth Barrett Brownbing
