The butterfly is a flying flower, the flower a tethered butterfly.”
Ponce Denis Écouchard Lebrun
The dawn is smiling on the dew that covers / The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers / That kiss the buds, and all the flutterings / In jasmine bloom, and privet, of white wings... We dream that all white butterflies above... / Are but torn love-letters, that through the skies / Flutter, and float, and change to butterflies."
Victor Hugo
Oh! To be a butterfly / Still, upon a flower, / Winking with its painted wings, / Happy in the hour.”
Amy Lowell
