To burn always with this hard gem-like flame, to maintain ecstasy, is success in life.
Walter Pater
falling leaves
hide the path
so quietly
John Bailey
The truth I do not stretch or shove
When I state that the dog is full of love.
I’ve also found, by actual test,
A wet dog is the lovingest.
Ogden Nash
Nobody sees a flower – really – it is so small it takes time
– we haven’t time
– and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.
Georgia O’Keeffe
Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature
Gerard de Nerval
Where the purple violet grows
Where the bubbling water flows,
Where the grass is fresh and fine,
Pretty cow, go there to dine.
Robert Louis Stevenson
