Grey Elves

Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or elves:

    While on that old grey stone I sat
    Under the old wind-broken tree,
    I knew that One is animate,
    Mankind inanimate phantasy.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes, and groves,
    And ye that on the sands with printless foot
    Do chase the ebbing Neptune, and do fly him
    When he comes back; you demi-puppets that
    By moonshine do the green sour ringlets make,
    Whereof the ewe not bites; and you whose pastime
    Is to make midnight mushrooms,
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
