Milky Rose

Famous quotes containing the words milky and/or rose:

“Go, smiling souls, your new-built cages break,
In heaven you’ll learn to sing, ere here to speak,
Nor let the milky fonts that bathe your thirst
Be your delay;
The place that calls you hence is, at the worst,
Milk all the way.”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
