Everyday Objects; Or, Picturesque Aspects of Natural History.

by W. H. Davenport Adams

In Milton there are but two allusions. In the Masque of Comus:—

"By dimpled brook and fountain-brim,

The wood-nymphs, deck'd with daisies trim,

Their merry wakes and pastimes keep."

And in L'Allegro:[50]—

"Meadows trim with daisies pied."

The Tulip.

"The pied windflowers and the tulip tall."

—Shelley.
