If there were nothing else to trouble us, the fate of the flowers would make us sad.
- John Lancaster Spalding
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.
- Iris Murdoch
The old tree is shook
White blossoms slowly float down
Dancers in the wind
- Alexandra Kim
flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals.
Some seem to smile, some have a sad expression, some are pensive and difident, others again are plain, honest and upright.
- Henry Ward Beecher
