Afterthoughts for "Petals"

Sensuality without love is a sin; love without sensuality is worse than a sin. 

Jose Bergamin

Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly? 

Emily Bronte

A virtuous character is likened to an unblemished flower. Piety is a fadeless bud that half opens on earth and expands through eternity. Sweetness of temper is the odor of fresh blooms, and the amaranth flowers of pure affection open but to bloom forever. 

Dorothea Dix
