I love Paghat's quote bag:

She pulls from all sorts of places to find bits of verse and text to illustrate her posts. 

This bit of verse I especially like:

"Only on some mounded heaps
Cinquefoil creeps,
By whose line you still may pace
Out the place
Where a great house, bravely planned,
Used to stand."

-Cicely Fox Smith
(1882-1954)

She uses it for an entry on cinquefoil of course.

Lovely quote. I am a quote-aholic. Quotes define, add structure & let the mind wander. I like this one you have today--and as for cinquefoil, it never likes me, I can never get it to grow happily. (now to find out who Cicely Fox Smith was--that's the best part)
