“Nevertheless, in this sea of human wretchedness and malice there bloomed at times compassion, as a pale flower blooms in a putrid marsh.”

“The Nature of This Flower Is to Bloom

Rebellious. Living.
Against the Elemental Crush.
A Song of Color
Blooming
For Deserving Eyes.
Blooming Gloriously
For its Self.”

“When one flower blooms spring awakens everywhere”

“Flowers are made to bloom in the sun and not to be shut up in an apron.”

“I think the sun is a flower,
That blooms for just one hour.”

“May our heart's garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers.”

“…the wild flowers blooming in hushed solitude
Start not at the whispering, 'tis but the breeze”

“Shed no tear! O shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.”

“Pale purple as the bloom on a ripe plum, veined with the gold of late flowering gorse, set with small slender birches, just turning yellow, with red-berried rowans and thicket of bracken, the heath lay steeped in sunshine.”

“How can a poet express his feelings in a string of words that can make the rain fall, the seeds grow, the flowers bloom, the stars move, the sun dim and the sea roar?”
