Rusty

Famous quotes containing the word rusty:

    Perseverance, dear my lord,
    Keeps honor bright; to have done is to hang
    Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail,
    In monumental mockery.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The feathers of the willow
    Are half of them grown yellow
    Above the swelling stream;
    And ragged are the bushes,
    And rusty now the rushes,
    And wild the clouded gleam.
    Richard Watson Dixon (1833–1900)

    as if in a fog of feather-light
    goosedown-silvery seed-thoughts
    a rusty mind in its autumn
    reviewed, renewed
    its winged power.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
