Silver Laurel Leaf

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

    They unhook their heavy swords
    From golden and silver boughs;

    Awaken to life again.

    The graceful flowers of innocence are more valuable than the laurel crown of fame.

    Here loveless birds now flock as winter friends,
    Content with bud-inspecting. They presume
    To say which buds are leaf and which are bloom.
