"Bid amaranthus all his beauty shed, And daffodils fill their cups with tears, To stew the laurate hearse where Lycid lies." Paradise Lost, John Milton (1667) "Immortal amaranth, a flower which once In Paradise, fast by the Tree of Life, Began to bloom, but soon for Man's offence, To Heav'n remov'd, where first it grew, there grows, And flours aloft shading the Fount of Life."
