Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or danube:

    “While my hair was still cut straight across my forehead
    I played about the front gate, pulling flowers.
    You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse,
    You walked about my seat, playing with blue plums.”
    —Li Po (701–762)

    The darken’d heart that beat no more;
    They laid him by the pleasant shore,
    And in the hearing of the wave.”
