Red Cliffs

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or cliffs:

    The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
    The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
    The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
    And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    So there stood Matthew Arnold and this girl
    With the cliffs of England crumbling away behind them,
    And he said to her, “Try to be true to me,
    And I’ll do the same for you, for things are bad
    All over, etc., etc.”
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
