You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will,
But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.
--
Farewell! But Whenever You Welcome the Hour, st. 3.Thomas Moore
There's a bower of roses by Bendemeer's stream,
And the nightingale sings round it all the day long;
In the time of my childhood 'twas like a sweet dream,
To sit in the roses and hear the bird's song.Thomas Moore
A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.
Jean Cocteau
Everytime we got off the plane that day, three times they gave me the yellow roses of Texas. But in Dallas they gave me red roses. I thought how funny, red roses — so all the seat was full of blood and red roses.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
What they had between them was still as fragile as a flickering candle flame, as delicate as eggshell - and he knew that if it shattered, if he somehow let it break and be destroyed, something inside him would shatter too, something that could never be fixed.
Cassandra Clare
I think there is a spiritual scent in us which feels mischief coming, as they say birds scent storms.
