Lustre

Famous quotes containing the word lustre:

“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!”

If virtues from within no lustre lend!
Strip off th’externals M and Y, the rest
Proves Majesty itself is but a Jest.”
