• Mi corazón es un jardín cansado por el otoño,
  amontonado de asteres curvados y dalias pesadas y oscuras,
  En el sol brumoso, el jardín recuerda abril,
  El chaparrón de las lluvias y una gota de nieve rápida y clara como una chispa;
  Narcisos soplando en el frío viento de la mañana,
  Y tulipanes dorados, copas que sostienen la lluvia -
  El jardín se silenciará con la nieve, olvidado pronto, olvidado -
  Después de la quietud, ¿volverá la primavera?

• August is ripening grain in the fields blowing hot and sunny, the scent of tree-ripened peaches, of hot buttered sweet corn on the cob. Vivid dahlias fling huge tousled blossoms through gardens and joe-pye-weed dusts the meadow purple.

• The year is getting to feel rich, for his golden fruits are ripening fast, and he has a large balance in the barns, which are his banks. The members of his family have found out that he is well to do in the world. September is dressing herself in show of dahlias and splendid marigolds and starry zinnias. October, the extravagant sister, has ordered an immense amount of the most gorgeous forest tapestry for her grand reception.

• The many varieties and wonderful colors of the modern dahlia make it a totally different flower from the one our grandmothers knew. The names are descriptive of the different varieties, and as there are so many of them, and they bloom from early in June or July until frost, a garden of dahlias might be very interesting.

• No hay nada como los primeros días calurosos de la primavera, cuando el jardinero deja de preguntarse si es demasiado pronto para plantar las dalias y empieza a preguntarse si es demasiado tarde. Ni siquiera el tiempo más hermoso disipará la idea (bien fundada en realidad) del jardinero de que, de algún modo, llega demasiado tarde, demasiado pronto, o de que tiene demasiadas cosas en marcha o no las suficientes. Porque el jardín es el escenario en el que el jardinero exulta y agoniza cada cresta y cada abismo del corazón.

• It's amazing how much time one can spend in a garden doing nothing at all. I sometimes think, in fact, that the nicest part of gardening is walking around in a daze, idly deadheading the odd dahlia, wondering where on earth to squeeze in yet another impulse buy, debating whether to move the recalcitrant artemisia one more time, or daydreaming about where to put the pergola.

• (After Nicholas tells Dahlia that he loves her) "...Just don't break my heart my heart, Dahlia. I've never handed it over to anyone before." She placed both hands over his. "I've never had anyone's heart. I don't know the first thing about keeping hearts. You're taking a terrible risk." "That's what I do best." ... "Are you feeling relaxed now?" ...

• Martin Scorcese is probably America's greatest living director, and while he is not a titan like John Ford or Alfred Hitchcock or Federico Fellini, he is certainly consistently more interesting than Steven Spielberg, Brian de Palma, Francis Ford Coppola or Woody Allen. Even a failure like Gangs of New York or a curiosity like The Aviator is more interesting and ambitious than Munich, The Black Dahlia or Scoop.

• The men gasped at Nicholas. "That's the most I've heard him say in three years." Sam said. He turned to the others. "You ever hear him talk that much?"

"Begging your pardon, ma'am, but he's just plain anti-social," Sam pointed out, "Always had been, always will be.
