Grey Livery

Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or livery:

    Of an old King in a story
    From the grey sea-folk I have heard,
    Whose heart was no more broken
    Than the wings of a bird.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    This death’s livery which walled its bearers from ordinary life was sign that they have sold their wills and bodies to the State: and contracted themselves into a service not the less abject for that its beginning was voluntary.
    —T.E. (Thomas Edward)
