flowerless quotes

An admiral red, whose only notion, (A butterfly poised on a pigtailed ocean) Is of the peruked sea whose swell Breaks on the flowerless rocks of Hell.

- Dame Edith Louisa Sitwell
  Fa c° ade,'En Famille'.

Maiden, and mistress of the months and stars Now folded in the flowerless fields of heaven.

- Algernon Charles Swinburne
  Atlanta in Calydon, l.1
