Silver Gray

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or gray:

    They unhook their heavy swords
    From golden and silver boughs;
    But all that are killed in battle
    Awaken to life again.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In vain to me the smiling Mornings shine,
    And redd’ning Phoebus lifts his golden Fire:
    The Birds in vain their amorous Descant join;
    Or cheerful Fields resume their green Attire:
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
