Additional quotes by Nathalia Crane

Treating the sword blade the same as the staff, Turning the chariot wheel into chaff. Toppling a pillar and nudging a wall, Building a sand pile to counter each fall. Yielding to nothing — not even the rose, The dust has its reasons wherever it goes.

You cannot choose your battlefield,
God does that for you;
But you can plant a standard
Where a standard never flew.

(From The Colors)

In the darkness, who would answer for the color of a rose, Or the vestments of the May moth and the pilgrimage it goes?

Great is the rose Infected by the tomb, Yet burgeoning Indifferent to death. - Nathalia Crane
