Famous quotes containing the words evening and/or dress:

    “And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
    Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
    There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
    And evening full of the linnet’s wings.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “An orange on the table,
    Your dress on the rug,
    And you in my bed,
    Sweet present of the present,
    Cool of night,
    Warmth of my life.”
    —Jacques Prévert (1900–1977)
