Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or world:
“Ae spring brought off her master hale,
But left behind her ain grey tail:”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
“And though the shady gloom
Had given day her room,
The sun himself withheld his wonted speed,
And hid his head for shame,
As his inferior flame
The new-enlightened world no more should need;
He saw a greater Sun appear
Than his bright throne or burning axle-tree could bear.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
