Christopher Smart Quotes

• For the flowers are great blessings. For the Lord made a Nosegay in the meadow with his disciples and preached upon the lily. For the flowers have great virtues for all senses. For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary. For the flowers have their angels even the words of God's creation. For there is a language of flowers. For there is a sound reasoning upon all flowers. For flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.

• Así cuando un barbero y un cobrador pelean, El barbero golpea al cobrador blanco sin suerte; El cobrador polvoriento levanta su saco pesado, Y grande con venganza golpea al barbero negro. Llega el hombre de polvo de ladrillo, con suciedad esparcida, y golpea al cobrador y al barbero-rojo: El negro, el rojo y el blanco se mezclan en varias nubes, y en el polvo que levantan los combatientes se pierden.
