Famous quotes containing the word dew:

    When cats run home and light is come,
    And dew is cold upon the ground,
    And the far-off stream is dumb,
    And the whirring sail goes round,
    And the whirring sail goes round;
    Alone and warming his five wits,
    The white owl in the belfry sits.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
