Pink Flowers

Famous quotes containing the words pink and/or flowers:

“In the pink light
the small red sun goes rolling, rolling,
round and round and round at the same height
in perpetual sunset,”

“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)
