Famous quotes containing the words troy and/or grains:
“The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,
The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
Great nations blossom above,
A slave bows down to a slave.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The millions of grains are black, white, tan, and gray,
and mixed with quartz grains, rose and amethyst.”
