What a pity flowers can utter
no sound! A singing rose, a whispering violet, a murmuring honeysuckle, oh what
a rare and exquisite miracle would this be Henry
Ward Beecher
That is best which lieth
nearest, Shape from that thy work of art. Longfellow
'Tis my faith, that every
flower enjoys the air it breathes. William
Wordsworth
Bread feeds the body indeed,
but the flowers also feed the soul. The
Koran
I believe that the days to come
already feel the wonder of the days that have passed and will permit that
wonder to endure and increase. If this be blind faith, then every gardener has
it, or he would never plant a seed. Author
