Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or spring:
“And now the chapel’s silver bell you hear,
That summons you to all the pride of pray’r:”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Shall the Spring dawn, and she still clad in smiles,
And with an unscathed brow,
Rest in the strong arms of her palm-crowned isles,
As fair and free as now?
We know not; in the temple of the Fates
God has inscribed her doom;
And, all untroubled in her faith, she waits
The triumph or the tomb.”
—Henry Timrod (1828–1867)
