SHAKESPEARE ROSE QUOTES

"When I have plucked the Rose,
I cannot give it vital growth again,
It needs must wither. I’ll smell it on the tree"
Othello,V(2)86.


"Of all the flowers, methinks a rose is best".

"Their lips were four red roses on a stalk."

"My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips’ red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun: If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white; But no such roses I see in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath from my mistress reaks: I love to hear her speak, yet well I know that music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go: My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare."
Sonnet 130

"What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Romeo and Juliet
