Famous quotes containing the words philip and/or gray:

    Come Sleep! Oh Sleep, the certain knot of peace,
    The baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe,
    The poor man’s wealth, the prisoner’s release,
    Th’indifferent judge between the high and low.
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn
    Which once he wore!
    The glory from his gray hairs gone
    Forevermore!
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
