Famous quotes containing the words color and/or test:
“But whenever the roof came white
The head in the dark below
Was a shade less the color of night,
A shade more the color of snow.”

“Tried by a New England eye, or the more practical wisdom of modern times, they are the oracles of a race already in its dotage; but held up to the sky, which is the only impartial and incorruptible ordeal, they are of a piece with its depth and serenity, and I am assured that they will have a place and significance as long as there is a sky to test them by.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
