Willard R. Espy Professions : EditorBorn : December 11, 1910Died : February 20, 1999 Browse All Authors Top 3 quotes by Willard R. Espy All flowers are flirtatious - particularly if they carry hyphenated names. The more hyphens in the name, the flirtier the flower. The one-hyphen flowers - black-eyed Susan; lady-smock; musk-rose - may give you only a shy glance and then drop their eyes; the two-hyphen flowers - forget-me-not; flower-de-luce - keep glancing. Flowers with three or more hyphens flirt all over the garden and continue even when they are cut and arranged in vases. John-go-to-bed-at-noon does not go there simply to sleep. Willard R. Espy flowereyesleep I am too old and stiff-necked to change my memories now. Willard R. Espy memories When you write, you can hide behind your words. When you talk, you are up front, like the clown in the midway booth; and passersby can bean you with a ball. Willard R. Espy clownballswriting Similar Authors Bryan A.
