White Mantle

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or mantle:

    At middle night great cats with silver claws,
    Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,
    Came up out of the hole, and red-eared hounds
    With long white bodies came out of the air
    Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    At last he rose, and twitch’d his mantle blue,
    Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
