Famous quotes containing the words purple and/or ribbon:

    “They turn’d to rest; and, each clasp’d by an arm,
    Yielded to the deep twilight’s purple charm.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “For this your mother sweated in the cold,
    For this you bled upon the bitter tree:
    A yard of tinsel ribbon bought and sold;
    A paper wreath; a day at home for me.”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
