White Ribbons

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or ribbons:

    “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)

    “After your baby arrives, you yourself may feel like something of a present, albeit clumsy, wrapped in unmatched ribbons and bows, but new. Untried. Untested.”
    —Sally Placksin (20th century)
