Violet Bank

Famous quotes containing the words violet and/or bank:

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“... an adamantine island chained to the shifting bank of the Channel.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
