John Masefield
“ Outside the stable, on the walls which seemed to be directly over his lair, he noticed the toadflax. It had little, mouthed flowers of palest purple touched with gold, which reminded him of snapdragons, violets, and sweet peas. It had vivid green leaves and thrusters of purple. Noticing it for the first time on this exciting day in that place, he remembered it always, as something even more strangely beautiful than most flowers. ”
― John Masefield, The Midnight Folk

Dawn Chalker
“ Sun poured down as warm as honey, and a soft breeze caressed her face.
 ”
― Dawn Chalker, Bear Me in Mind
