Famous quotes containing the words red and/or coverts:
“Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
For these red lips, with all their mournful pride,
Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
And Usna’s children died.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“On short, still days
At the shut of the year
We search the pathways
Where the coverts were.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
