Lustre

Famous quotes containing the word lustre:

“How much on outward show does all depend,
If virtues from within no lustre lend!
Strip off th’externals M and Y, the rest
Proves Majesty itself is but a Jest.”

“In that whiter Island, where
Things are evermore sincere;
Candor here, and lustre there
Delighting:”

“There is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!”
