Copper Plates

Famous quotes containing the words copper and/or plates:

“He had put, within his reach,
A box of counters and a red-veined stone,
A piece of glass abraded by the beach,
And six or seven shells,
A bottle with bluebells,
And two French copper coins, ranged there with careful art,”
—Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)

“Realms and islands were
As plates dropped from his pocket.”
