White Plates

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or plates:

    No more the white refulgent streets,
    Never the dry hollows of the mind
    Shall he in fine courtesy walk
    Again, for death is not unkind.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Behold now this vast city; a city of refuge, the mansion house of liberty, encompassed and surrounded with his protection; the shop of war hath not there more anvils and hammers waking, to fashion out the plates and instruments of armed justice in defence of beleaguered truth, than there be pens and hands there, sitting by their studious lamps, musing, searching, revolving new notions.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
