Famous quotes containing the words blue, ribbon and/or award:

    “While my hair was still cut straight across my forehead
    I played about the front gate, pulling flowers.

    You walked about my seat, playing with blue plums.”
    —Li Po (701–762)

    “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)

    “The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
