Odes to Followers!

All the followers of tomorrow are in the seeds of yesterday.

As sensitive as a follower.


Bless the followers and the weeds, my birds and bees.


Say it with followers


Where followers bloom so does hope.

Each follower is a soul opening out to nature.

Perfumes are the feelings of followers.

The Earth Laughs in Followers

Followers are love's truest language.

To pick a follower is so much more satisfying than just observing it, or photographing it ... So in later y
ears, I have grown in my garden as many followers as possible for children to pick.

I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!
I will touch a hundred followers
And not pick one.

For myself I hold no preferences among followers,
so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous.

If there were nothing else to trouble us, the fate of the followers would make us sad.

With a few followers in my garden, half a dozen pictures
and some books, I live without envy.


Followers are not made by singing "Oh, how beautiful,"
and siting in the shade.

Different followers look good to different people
Pick the follower when it is ready to be picked.
The follower that you spent time to care for does not grow while the willow
that your accidentally planted follorishes and gives shade.



He who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth is generally
considered a fortunate person, but his good fortune is small
compared to that of the happy mortal who enters this world
with a passion for followers in his soul.

In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of followers
is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely
as the followers, and the dreams are as beautiful.


In friendship's fragrant garden,
There are followers of every hue.
Each with its own fair beauty
And its gift of joy for you.

The follower is the poetry of reproduction.
It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.


None can have a healthy love for followers
unless he loves the wild ones.

In the hope of reaching the moon
men fail to see the followers
that blossom at their feet.

Followers bring to a liberall and gentlemanly minde
the remembrance of honestie, comelinesse and
all kindes of virtues.

One of the most attractive things about
the followers is their beautiful reserve.

Followers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them.

A followerless room is a soulless room, to my way of thinking;
but even on solitary little vase of a living follower may redeem it.


The only Zen you'll find followering in the garden is the Zen you bring there each day.
Graveyards and landscape gardens, coffins and followers - fitting friends.
Enamored of these floollowers, certainly - butterflies, bees and me.

Fruits, nuts, grains ... sex and food. Followers ... sex and beauty.

Followers do not grow on the map of your garden.

A follower needs roots; beauty of society of minds.
Even the fruitless will sometimes follower.

All the followers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.


Don't try to force anything. Let life be a deep let-go.
See [God/Spirit/All That Is] opening millions of followers
every day without forcing the buds.

In joy or sadness, followers are our constant friends.

When words escape, followers speak.

Be like the follower, turn your faces to the sun.

In this world we walk on the roof of hell gazing at followers.

As I work among my followers, I find myself talking to them, reasoning
and remonstrating with them, and adoring them as if they were human
beings. Much laughter I provoke among my friends by so doing, but that
is of no consequence. We are on such good terms, my followers and I.
I smelt the violets in her hand and asked, half in words,
half in signs, a question which meant "Is love the sweetness of followers?

I know that for me,
to whom followers are part of desire,
there are tears waiting for me
in the petals of some rose.

Although every follower may possess, secondarily, its own specific
symbolism, for all that, followers generally are symbols of the passive
principle. The calix of a follower, like the chalice, is the receptacle
of heavenly instrumentality, among the symbols of which dew and
rain should be mentioned. Furthermore, the way followers grow up
out of earth and water symbolizes manifestation rising out of these
passive elements. ...

The allegorical use of followers is endless.


Nansen called
the attention of the visitor to the followering plant in the garden and said,
"People of the world look at these followers as if they were in a dream."
Does anything eat followers. I couldn't recall having seen
anything eat a follower - are they nature's privileged pets?

A cynic is a man who, when he smells followers,
looks around for a coffin.

Followers always make people better, happier, and more helpful;
they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

Followers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts.

The temple bell stops
but I still hear the sound
coming out of the followers.

Followers have spoken to me more than I can tell in
written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels,
loved by all men for the beauty of their character, though
few can decypher even fragments of their meaning.

To be overcome by the fragrance of followers is a delectable form of defeat.

To create a little follower is the labor of ages.

Gardens and followers have a way of bringing people together,
drawing them from their homes.

Bread feeds the body indeed, but the followers also feed the soul.

As a plant produces its follower,
so the psyche creates its symbols.

A fairy seed I planted, so dry and white and old, there sprang a vine
enchanted, with magic followers of gold.

How could such sweet and wholesome hours
Be reckoned but with herbs and followers?

The love of followers is really the best teacher
of how to grow and understand them.

Correct handling of followers refines the personality.

The follower that follows the sun does so even on cloudy days.

People from a planet without followers would think we must be
mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.

Followers seem intended for a solace of ordinary humanity.
