White Sleeves

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or sleeves:

“Kind Sir: Lost and of your same kind
I have turned around twice with my eyes sealed
and the wood were white and my night mind
saw such strange happenings, untold and unreal.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“The post-office appeared a singularly domestic institution here. Ever and anon the stage stopped before some low shop or dwelling, and a wheelwright or shoemaker appeared in his shirt- sleeves and leather apron, with spectacles newly donned, holding up Uncle Sam’s bag, as if it were a slice of home-made cake, for the travelers, while he retailed some piece of gossip to the driver, really as indifferent to the presence of the former as if they were so much baggage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
