Silver Gray

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or gray:

    “Of fayre Elisa be your silver song,
    That blessed wight:
    The flowre of virgins, may shee florish long
    In princely plight.
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    I had a good talk with Alcott this afternoon. He is certainly the youngest man of his age we have seen,—just on the threshold of life. When I looked at his gray hairs, his conversation sounded pathetic; but I looked again, and they reminded me of the gray dawn.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
