Rosebud Quotes

A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden. (Robert Southey)
Queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls, Come hither, the dances are done, In gloss of satin and glimmer of pearls, Queen lily and rose in one; Shine out, little head, sunning over with curls, To the flowers, and be their sun. View quote
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
I carry about eight lip balms: Burt's Bees, Rosebud Salve, Eos. View quote

You seemed to me to be soaring far up in the blue - to be sailing in the bright light, over the heads of men. Suddenly some one tosses up a faded rosebud - a missile that should never have reached you - and down you drop to the ground. View quote
Henry James

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
She held the cup; and he the while Sat gazing on her playful smile, As all the wine he wished to sip Was one kiss from her rosebud lip. View quote
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Maiden, fling from thy braided hair The red rosebud that is wreathed there ; For he who planted the parent tree Is now what soon that blossom will be. View quote

For each thorn, there's a rosebud... for each twilight a dawn... for each trial the strength to carry on, For each stormcloud a rainbow... for each shadow the sun... for each parting sweet memories when sorrow is done. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What! the girl I adore by another embraced? What! the balm of her breath shall another man taste? What! pressed in the dance by another's man's knee? What! panting recline on another than me? Sir, she's yours; you have pressed from the grape its fine blue, From the rosebud you've shaken the tremulous dew; What you've touched you may take. Pretty waltzer-adieu! View quote
Henry Englefield
The Sioux had been forced to submit to a series of land grabs and to indignities that are almost unbelievable when read about today. ...they were being systematically starved into submission-by the White Bureaucracy-on the little that was left of their reservation in South Dakota. ...From Rosebud, the Ghost Dance spread like prairie fire to the Pine Ridge Sioux and finally to Sitting Bull's people at Standing Rock. The Sioux rebelled; the result was the death of Sitting Bull and the massacre of the Indians (despite their ghost shirts) at Wounded Knee in 1890. View quote
Peter Farb
What have we in common with the rosebud, which trembles because a drop of dew is lying upon it? (Friedrich Nietzsche)
