“Red” Quotes ~

O my Luve's like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June:
O my Luve's like the melodie
That’s sweetly play'd in tune.
Robert Burns

• “In August, the large masses of berries, which, when in flower, had attracted many wild bees, gradually assumed their bright velvety crimson hue, and by their weight again bent down and broke their tender limbs.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
