Famous quotes containing the words coloured and/or ivory:

    I would in rich and golden coloured raine,
    With tempting showers in pleasant sort discend,
    Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)

    We have fallen in the dreams the Ever-living
    Breathe on the burnished mirror of the world
    And then smooth out with ivory hands and sigh,
    And find their laughter sweeter to the taste
    For that brief sighing.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
