Famous quotes containing the words white and/or mantle:
“When cats run home and light is come,
And dew is cold upon the ground,
And the far-off stream is dumb,
And the whirring sail goes round,
And the whirring sail goes round;
Alone and warming his five wits,
The white owl in the belfry sits.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“At last he rose, and twitch’d his mantle blue,
Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
