Famous quotes containing the word dew:

    “In the cowslips peeps I lie,
    Hidden from the buzzing fly,
    While green grass beneath me lies,
    Pearled wi’ dew like fishes’ eyes,
    Here I lye, a clock-a-clay,
    Waiting for the time o’ day.”
    —John Clare (1793–1864)

    “But look, the morn in russet mantle clad
    Walks o’er the dew of yon high eastward hill.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
