Famous quotes containing the word ruby:

    “Thy great leaves enfold
    The ancient beards, the helms of ruby and gold
    Of the crowned Magi; and the king whose eyes
    Saw the Pierced Hands and Rood of elder rise
    In Druid vapour and make the torches dim....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
