Love and flowers do not last but one spring.
Pierre de Ronsard

Thou wast that all to me, love,
For which my soul did pine —
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine.Edgar Allan Poe
Spring is in the air. In some places, that means longer days, blooming flowers and Opening Day. Here in New Jersey, the coming of spring means it’s the time of year when Trenton politicians ask us for more money. Not surprisingly, this year is no different.
Tom Kean
Death was not. I lived in a simple drowse:
Hands and hair moved through a dream of wakening blossoms.
Rain sweetened the cave and the dove still called;
The flowers leaned on themselves, the flowers in hollows;
And love, love sang toward.Theodore Roethke
Flowers are immortal. You cut them in autumn and they grow again in spring—somewhere.
Halldor Laxness
When Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.
Reginald Heber
