Red Caps

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or caps:

“Her breasts under her gown
are cold,
for a flower has grown,
murex-red
on the red gown.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“At the milliners, the ladies we met were so much dressed, that I should rather have imagined they were making visits than purchases. But what diverted me most was, that we were more frequently served by men than by women; and such men! so finical, so affected! they seemed to understand every part of a woman’s dress better than we do ourselves; and they recommended caps and ribbons with an air of so much importance, that I wished to ask them how long they had left off wearing them.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
