“Memory is the best of all gardens. Therein, winter and summer, the seeds of their past lie dormant, ready to spring into instant bloom at any moment the mind wishes to bring them to life.” MindMomentsPastLyingWishMemoriesReadySummerSpringGardenWinterSeedsInstantDormant Author:Hal Boyle
“Who are you, reader, reading my poems an hundred years hence? I cannot send you one single flower from this wealth of the spring, one single streak of gold from yonder clouds. Open your doors and look abroad. From your blossoming garden gather fragrant memories of the vanished flowers of an hundred years before. In the joy of your heart may you feel the living joy that sang one spring morning, sending its glad voice across a hundred years.” FeelsYearsLooksHeartMayJoyReadingVoiceMemoriesWealthMorningDoorsFlowerReaderSpringHundredGardenGoldCloudsGladStreaksBlossoming Book:Delphi Collected Works of Rabindranath Tagore (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Collected Works of Rabindranath Tagore (Illustrated)
“After Nicholas hung up the phone, he watched his mother carry buckets and garden tools across the couch grass toward a bed that would, come spring, be brightly ablaze as tropical coral with colorful arctotis, impatiens, and petunias. Katherine dug with hard chopping strokes, pulling out wandering jew and oxalis, tossing the uprooted weeds into a black pot beside her. The garden will be beautiful, he thought. But how do the weeds feel about it? Sacrifices must be made.” FeelsMadeHardBeautifulMotherBlackSacrificeBedSpringGardenToolsPhonesJewWanderGrassPotWeedGardeningHungPullingStrokesCouchesColorfulBucketsTropicalChoppingPetunias Author:Stephen M.
