A sweet content
Passing all wisdom or its fairest flower.

O fairest flower! no sooner blown but blasted,
Soft silken primrose fading timelessly.John Milton
I praise the Frenchman [Voltaire], his remark was shrewd —
How sweet, how passing sweet, is solitude!
But grant me still a friend in my retreat
Whom I may whisper — solitude is sweet.William Cowper
The Flower of Old Japan.
The Flower above all other flowers,
The Flower that never dies;
Before whose throne the scented hours
Offer their sacrifice;
The Flower that here on earth below
Reveals the heavenly plan;
But only little children know
The Flower of Old Japan.Alfred Noyes
Flowers never emit so sweet and strong a fragrance as before a storm. When a storm approaches thee, be as fragrant as a sweet-smelling flower.
Jean Paul
As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
Orson Scott Card
