Who said “To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for…”?

“I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.”

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

“'Tis the last rose of summer, left blooming alone; all her lovely companions are faded and gone.”

“Flowers that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their coloring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children -- honored as the jewelry of God only by them -- when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”

“Earth laughs in flowers.”

“Ocean is a mighty harmonist.”

“Small service is true service, while it lasts.”

“Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.”

“Thou unassuming common-place of Nature, with that homely face.”

“Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your teacher.”

“She seemed a thing that could not feel the touch of earthly years.”
