Lustre

Famous quotes containing the word lustre:

    After a lustre of the moon, we say
    We have not the need of any paradise,
    We have not the need of any seducing hymn.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    In that whiter Island, where
    Things are evermore sincere;
    Candor here, and lustre there
    Delighting:
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    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.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
