Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or olive:
“When love begins to sicken and decay
It useth an enforcèd ceremony.
There are no tricks in plain and simple faith.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Even when seen from near, the olive shows
A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
