꽃은 사람이나 동물처럼 얼굴 표정이다. 어떤 건 웃는 것 같고, 어떤 건 슬픈 표정이고, 어떤 건 생각에 젖어 소심하고, 또 다른 건 꾸미지 않아 솔직하고 꼿꼿하다, 얼굴 넓은 해바라기와 접시꽃처럼.

– 헨리 워드 비처

Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.

– Henry Ward Beecher
