| Tulip Quotes |
And tulips, children love to stretch
Their fingers down, to feel in each
Its beauty's sweet nearer.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning,
A Flower in a Letter
You believe
In God, for your part?--that He who makes
Can make good things from ill things, best from worst,
As men plant tulips upon dunghills when
They wish them finest.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora
Leigh
(bk. II)
'Mid the sharp, short emerald wheat, scarce risen three fingers well,
The wild tulip at the end of its tube, blows out its great red bell,
Like a thin clear bubble of blood, for the children to
pick and sell.
- Robert Browning,
Up at a Villa--Down in the
City (st. 6)
Bring the tulip and the rose,
While their brilliant beauty glows.
- Eliza Cook
The tulip is a courtly quean,
Whom, therefore, I will shun.
- Thomas Hood, Flowers
Guarded within the old red wall's embrace,
Marshalled like soldiers in gay company,
The tulips stand arrayed. Here infantry
Wheels out into the sunlight.
- Amy Lowell, A Tulip Garden
Not one of Flora's brilliant race
A form more perfect can display;
Art could not feign more simple grace
Nor Nature take a line away.
- James Montgomery, On Planting a
Tulip-Root
The tulip's petals shine in dew,
All beautiful, but none alike.
- James Montgomery, On Planting a
Tulip-Root
Dutch tulips from their beds
Flaunted their stately heads.
- James Montgomery, The Adventure of a
Star
Like tulip-beds of different shape and dyes,
Bending beneath the invisible west-wind's sighs.
- Thomas Moore,
Lalla Rookh--The Veiled
Prophet of Khorassan
