White Hued Star

Famous quotes containing the words white, hued and/or star:

    Like the water, the Walden ice, seen near at hand, has a green tint, but at a distance is beautifully blue, and you can easily tell it from the white ice of the river, or the merely greenish ice of some ponds, a quarter of a mile off.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In that November off Tehuantepec,
    The slopping of the sea grew still one night
    And in the morning summer hued the deck

    And made one think of rosy chocolate
    And gilt umbrellas.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    What is this flesh I purchased with my pains,
    This fallen star my milk sustains,
    This love that makes my heart’s blood stop
    Or strikes a sudden chill into my bones
    And bids my hair stand up?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
