Mary Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 You love the roses - so do I. I wish They sky would rain down roses, as they rain From off the shaken bush. Why will it not? Then all the valley would be pink and white And soft to tread on. They would fall as light As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be Like sleeping and like waking, all at once! George Eliot 1819-1880 Thank you Peter and Calamity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Mary, my mother's middle name is Rose and it is her favorite flower. I may borrow this poem for the roses that I give her this Valentine's Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I can't help wondering now if T.S. Eliot was the son of this George Eliot poet. I'll look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
