Famous quotes containing the words purple and/or ribbon:

    “And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
    Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
    There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
    And evening full of the linnet’s wings.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I’ll tell you how the Sun rose—
    A Ribbon at a time—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
