“Ye living flowers that skirt the eternal frost.”

“Believe that the world is an ethereal flower, and ye live.”

“Yes, frosting. The final defense of the dying.”

“But, oh! fell death's untimely frost,
That nipt my flower sae early.”

“Good deeds stand tall like a green pine, evil deeds bloom like flowers;
The pine is not as brilliant as the flowers, it seems.
When the frost comes, the pine will still stand tall,
While the flowers, withered, can be seen no more”

“Yes, Heaven is thine; but this
Is a world of sweets and sours;
Our flowers are merely—flowers.”

“Hope nevermore to look upon the heavens;
I come to lead you to the other shore,
To the eternal shades in heat and frost.”

“Yes, I live in God, and shall eternally. It is His hand upholds me now; and death will be but an uplifting of me into His bosom.”

“The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.”

“Katniss: I guess all those hours decorating cakes paid off.
Peeta: Yes, frosting. The final defence of the dying. (252)”
