“Well, I love geraniums, and anybody who does not love geraniums must obviously be a depraved and loathsome person.”

“Don't waste hate on pink geranium.”

“Long experience has taught me that people who do not like geraniums have something morally unsound about them. Sooner or later you will find them out; you will discover that they drink, or steal books, or speak sharply to cats. Never trust a man or a woman who is not passionately devoted to geraniums.”

“And through the spaces of the darkMidnight shakes the memoryAs a madman shakes a dead geranium.”

“I focused very hard on the dead geranium in his line of vision. I thought if I could make it bloom he would have his answer. In my heaven it bloomed. In my heaven geranium petals swirled in eddies up to my waist. On Earth nothing happened... I stood alone in a sea of bright petals.”
