“I do not want to live in a world without butterflies. Without the intricate eyes and velvety wings, graceful splashes of color dancing on the breeze. Airy, delicate keepers of hope. Metamorphic symbols of change, growth, maturation. ... I do not want this world without the butterflies. I could not bear the wailing of flowers. --from 'A World Without Butterflies' (a poem)” PoetryNaturePoemNature QuotesSouthern WritersClimate Change QuotesEnvironmental PoetryQuotes About Butterflies Book:organic Source: organic
