The silence of a flower:
a kind of silence which we continually evade,
of which we find only the shadow in dreams.

~Lewis Thompson

Today as in the time of Pliny and Columella,
the hyacinth flourishes in Wales,
the periwinkle in Illyria,
the daisy on the ruins of Numantia;
while around them cities have changed their masters and their names,
collided and smashed,
disappeared into nothingness,
their peaceful generations have crossed down the ages as
fresh and smiling as on the days of battle.

~Edgar Quinet
1803-1875
French Poet
