Her love of flowers is really her great charm. For no man loves flowers as women can. She looks coolly at the exquisite petunias and says, in a small far away voice, "They have a very perfect scent." But I feel I can hear oceans of love breaking in her heart.

Katherine Mansfield, from a letter to Dorothy Brett written c. July 1927

hozier's "if secrets were like seeds, keep my body from the fire, hire a gardener for my grave; your secret is safe with me, and if secrets were like seeds, when I'm lying under marble, marvel at flowers you'll have made" is the most beautiful way of saying someone's secrets will be buried with you

there's a cherry blossom tree in DC that keeps blooming every year even though it shouldn't and the park service keeps thinking it's dead and then it keeps blooming! well they're removing a lot of trees to rehabilitate the area and they've said it's finally time for stumpy to go and they're going to mulch it and use the mulch to enrich all the other trees so it can help everything else keep going. and they're also going to plant spliced little pieces of it all over so that stumpy can live forever and this is genuinely sending me into a spiral

If summer is meant to follow on the heels of spring, then today she is taking a sabbatical, skipping stones and counting petals under the shadow of spring’s withdrawal. Today, she lives slowly, holding sheaths of grain as she naps in the arms of oaken shade, oblivious to the demands of the buzzing bees and the unflowered meadows.
