Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or olive:
“War is no strife
To the dark house and the detested wife.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Even when seen from near, the olive shows
A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
