Vita Sackville-West
There's no beginning to the farmer's year, / Only recurrent patterns on a scroll / Unwinding...
Vita Sackville-West
Every garden-maker should be an artist along his own lines. That is the only possible way to create a garden, irrespective of size or wealth.
Vita Sackville-West
[On writing:] The most egotistic of occupations, and the most gratifying while it lasts.

Vita Sackville-West

I cannot bear that you / Should think me faithful, when I am untrue.
Vita Sackville-West
I suppose the pleasure of the country life lies really in the eternally renewed evidences of the determination to live. That is a truism when said, but anything but a truism when daily observed. Nothing shows up the difference between the thing said or read, so much as the daily experience of it.
Vita Sackville-West
Growth is exciting growth is dynamic and alarming.
Vita Sackville-West
Nothing shows up the difference between the things said or read, so much as the daily experience of it.
Vita Sackville-West
Things were not tragic for us then, because although we cared passionately we didn't care deeply.
Vita Sackville-West
There are no signposts in the sea.
Vita Sackville-West
The most noteworthy thing about gardeners is that they are always optimistic, always enterprising, and never satisfied. They always look forward to doing something better than they have ever done before.
Vita Sackville-West
Forget not bees in winter, though they sleep.
Vita Sackville-West
