Amy Lowell Quotes About Flowers

Quotes about: Flowers

• Lilacs, False Blue, White, Purple,
  Colour of lilac,
  Your great puffs of flowers
  Are everywhere in this my New England ...
  Lilacs in dooryards
  Holding quiet conversation with an early moon;
  Lilacs watching a deserted house; ...
  Lilacs, wind-beaten, staggering under a lopsided shock of bloom,
  You are everywhere.

• Life is a stream On which we strew Petal by petal the flower of our heart; The end lost in dream, They float past our view, We only watch their glad, early start. Freighted with hope, Crimsoned with joy, We scatter the leaves of our opening rose; Their widening scope, Their distant employ, We never shall know. And the stream as it flows Sweeps them away, Each one is gone Ever beyond into infinite ways. We alone stay While years hurry on, The flower fared forth, though its fragrance still stays.

• My words are little jars For you to take and put upon a shelf. Their shapes are quaint and beautiful, And they have many pleasant colours and lustres To recommend them. Also the scent from them fills the room With sweetness of flowers and crushed grasses.
