Famous quotes containing the word ruddy:

    The richest of all lords is Use,
    And ruddy Health the loftiest Muse.
    Live in the sunshine, swim the sea,
    Drink the wild air’s salubrity.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Without, the frost, the blinding snow,
    The storm-wind’s moody madness—
    Within, the firelight’s ruddy glow,
    And childhood’s nest of gladness.
    The magic words shall hold thee fast:
    Thou shalt not heed the raving blast.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    My maiden Isabel,
    Reflaring rosabel.
    The fragrant camomel;
    The ruddy rosary,
    The sovereign rosemary,
    The pretty strawberry;
    The columbine, the nept,
    The jelofer well set,
    The proper violet:
    John Skelton (1460?–1529)
