The quote is the final two lines of Jonathan Swift's poem "The Lady's Dressing Room." The poem was first published in 1732. You can read the entire poem here: Carol Percy, University of Toronto: Select poems by Jonathan Swift http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~cpercy/courses/t-swift.htm#Dressing Google Web Search: "such gaudy tulips" ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22such+gaudy+tulips I hope this information is useful. If anything is unclear or incomplete, please request clarification; I'll be glad to offer further assistance before you rate my answer. Best regards, pinkfreud  |
