You love the roses - so do I.
I wish the sky would rain down roses, as they rain from off the shaken bush.
Why will it not?

They would fall as light as feathers, smelling sweet, and it would be like sleeping and like waking, all at once!

As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower.
- Edward Thomas
The world is a rose, smell it and pass it to your friends.
- Persian Proverb
