Famous quotes containing the word hue:

    “Short is the glory of the blushing rose,
    The hue which thou so carefully dost nourish,
    Yet which at length thou must be forced to lose.”
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    “Even when seen from near, the olive shows
    A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
    The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
    Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
    And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
    Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
