Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or livery:

In chaos of vacancy shone;
Naught but vast sorrow was there
The sweet cheat gone.”

“Whether, if you yield not to your fathers choice,
You can endure the livery of a nun,
For aye to be in shady cloister mewed,
To live a barren sister all your life,
Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.
Thrice blessed they that master so their blood
To undergo such maiden pilgrimage.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
