"The golden-rod is one of the fairy, magical flowers; it grows not up to seek human love amid the light of day, but to mark to the discerning what wealth lies hid in the secret caves of Earth.”
— Margaret Fuller

"To make a prairie
it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee.

The revery alone will do,
If bees are few."

"....little happinessess did come, and they came from ordinary pleasures in ordinary things; the baby, sunlight, breezes, animals and birds, daily work, rest when I was tired, food, strands of fog in the hollows early in the morning, butterflies, flowers. The flowers didn't have to be dahlias and roses either, but just the w**ds blooming in the fields, the daisies and the yarrow. I began to trust the world again, not to give me what I wanted, for I saw that it could not be trusted to do that, but to give unforeseen goods and pleasures that I had not thought to want."
--Wendell Berry

"Without habit, the beauty of the world would overwhelm us. We’d pass out every time we saw— actually saw— a flower. Imagine if we only got to see a cumulonimbus cloud or Cassiopeia or a snowfall once a century: there’d be pandemonium in the streets. People would lie by the thousands in the fields on their backs."
--Anthony Doerr

(I might amend this for 'habit' to include other daily tasks: our loss of loved ones, preparations for weddings and babies, caretaking of all of the above. We are caught in living; otherwise we might lie on our backs in awe to observe the fireflies and silhouettes of flowers.)

"Against a dark sky all flowers look like fireworks. There is something strange about them, at once vivid and secret, like flowers traced in fire in the phantasmal garden of a witch."
