Silver Laurel Leaf

Famous quotes containing the words silver, laurel and/or leaf:

    On the bare upland pasture there had spread
    O’ernight ‘twixt mullein stalks a wheel of thread
    And straining cables wet with silver dew.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    No more shall the war cry sever,
    Or the winding rivers be red:
    They banish our anger forever
    When they laurel the graves of our dead!
    Under the sod and the dew,
    Waiting the Judgment Day:—
    Love and tears for the Blue;
    Tears and love for the Gray.
    Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)

    The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.
    Freda Adler (b. 1934)
