Famous quotes containing the words white and/or mantle:
“Stands the Spring! heralded by its bright-clothed
Trumpeters, of bough and bush and branch;
Pale Winter draws away his white hands, loathed,
And creeps, a leper, to the cave of time.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“At last he rose, and twitch’d his mantle blue,
Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new.”
