Silver Proof

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or proof:

“the hatchlings wake in the swaying branches,
in the silver baskets,
and love the world.

Have you heard them singing in the wind, above the final fields?
Have you ever been so happy in your life?”
—Mary Oliver (b. 1935)

“O, popular applause! what heart of man
Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?”
