Famous quotes containing the words red and/or coverts:
“The poppy that my heart was,
formed to bind all mortals,
made to strike and gather hearts
like flame upon an altar,
fades and shrinks, a red leaf
drenched and torn in the cold rain.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“On short, still days
At the shut of the year
We search the pathways
Where the coverts were.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
