Silver Latin

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or latin:

    Sing, siren, for thyself, and I will dote;
    Spread o’er the silver waves thy golden hairs,
    And as a bed I’ll take them, and there lie.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    But these young scholars, who invade our hills,
    Bold as the engineer who fells the wood,
    And travelling often in the cut he makes,
    Love not the flower they pluck, and know it not
    And all their botany is Latin names.
    The old men studied magic in the flowers.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
