Letitia Elizabeth Landon Flower Quotations

Ah, tell me not that memory sheds gladness o'er the past, what is recalled by faded flowers, save that they did not last?

Do anything but love; or if thou lovest and art a woman, hide thy love from him whom thou dost worship; never let him know how dear he is; flit like a bird before him; lead him from tree to tree, from flower to flower; but be not won, or thou wilt, like that bird, when caught and caged, be left to pine neglected and perish in forgetfulness.

Eyes that droop like summer flowers.

I never cast a flower away, A gift of one who car'd for me; A flower--a faded flower, But it was done reluctantly.

I do love violets; they tell the history of woman's love.
