Autumn Dowie Silver

Famous quotes containing the words autumn, dowie and/or silver:

    “English people apparently queue up as a sort of hobby. A family man might pass a mild autumn evening by taking the wife and kids to stand in the cinema queue for a while and then leading them over for a few minutes in the sweetshop queue and then, as a special treat for the kids, saying “Perhaps we’ve time to have a look at the Number Thirty-One bus queue before we turn in.””
    —Calvin Trillin (b. 1940)

    ““O haud your tongue, my father dear,
    An’ dinna grieve your Sarah;
    A better lord was never born
    Than him I lost on Yarrow.”
    —Unknown. The Dowie Houms o’ Yarrow (l. 53–56)

    “no thread
    Of cloudy silver sprinkles in your gown
    Its venom of renown, and on your head
    No crown is simpler than the simple hair.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
