Famous quotes containing the words morning and/or glory:
“True Bramin, in the morning meadows wet,
Expound the Vedas of the violet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Who blows death’s feather? What glory is colour?
I blow the stammel feather in the vein.
The loin is glory in a working pallor.
My clay unsuckled and my salt unborn,
The secret child, I shift about the sea
Dry in the half-tracked thigh.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
