Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It's what sunflowers do."

~ Helen Keller

"The Sunflower" by William Blake

Ah, Sunflower, weary of time,

Who countest the steps of the sun;

Seeking after that sweet golden clime,

Where the traveller's journal done;

Where the youth pined away with desire,

And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,

Arise from their graves, and aspire

Where my Sunflower wishes to go!
