Blue Marble

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or marble:

    “Dear Friend,
    the canebrakes
    nestled in the riverbank’s lap,
    their clusters broken
    from the weight of blue bees,
    have in time
    become stumps.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “I was the rector’s son, born to the anglican order,
    Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;
    The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept
    With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
