Blue Flowers

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or flowers:

“... wounding God with his blue face,
his tyranny, his absolute kingdom,
with my aphrodisiac.”

“The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit,—not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
