Famous quotes containing the words white and/or mantle:
“In marble halls as white as milk,
Lined with a skin as soft as silk,
Within a fountain crystal-clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.”

Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new.”
