Garden Quotes
-
My life had taken a stranger turn than I could've ever imagined. What was I doing on this path? Where was I headed really?

To save a girl who didn't want to be saved?

Where did we come from?

I have sat here happy in the gardens, Watching the still pool and the reeds And the dark clouds. . . . But though I greatly delight In these and the water lilies, That which sets me nighest to weeping Is the rose and white colour of the smooth flag-stones, And the pale yellow grasses Among them.
