Mutatus Mother Clouds

Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or clouds:

    “Miracle had its playtime where
    In damask clothed and on a seat
    Chryselephantine, cedar-boarded,
    His majestic Mother sat
    Stitching at a purple hoarded
    That He might be nobly breeched....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “A ward, and still in bonds, one day
    I stole abroad;
    It was high spring, and all the way
    Primrosed and hung with shade;
    Yet was it frost within,
    And surly winds
    Blasted my infant buds, and sin
    Like clouds eclipsed my mind.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
