Grey Livery

Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or livery:

    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)

    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)
