FLOWER GARDENS
ROMANTIC POETRY OF FLOWERS
Walter Whitman, is one of America's most significant nineteenth century poets. During the era of romanticism, as a transcendentalist, he praises nature and its value to human life in his poems. Most of the famous poets during the time of the romantic period, wrote of their gratitude for nature, and noted its beauty, having a healing effect upon the human soul.
A morning glory
at my window
satisfies me more than the
metaphysics of books.
- Walter Whitman
Give me the odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.-WALTER WHITMAN
I believe that the beauty seen in nature, is divine and uplifts
the human soul instilling joy, happiness and contentment.
LORD BYRON QUOTE
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. - William Wordsworth
The glory of gardening; hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul - ALFRED AUSTIN
The earth has music for those who listen- SHAKESPEAR
Where flowers bloom so does hope-LADY BIRD JOHNSON
