From Cocoon forth a Butterfly
As Lady from her Door
Emerged—a Summer Afternoon—
Repairing Everywhere—

a clover, anytime, to him
is aristocracy.
Emily Dickinson

Stay near me---do not take thy flight!
A little longer stay in sight!
Much converse do I find I thee,
Historian of my infancy !
Float near me; do not yet depart!...

William Wordsworth
I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
Claude Monet
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

Lovely stuff Constance. I adore lilacs
Thanks, Oonah. One of the few flowers whose fragrance I can tolerate. :)
