Russet

Famous quotes containing the word russet:

“Magnified apples appear and disappear,
Stem end and blossom end,
And every fleck of russet showing clear.”

“We saw by the flitting clouds, by the first russet tinge on the hills, by the rushing river, the cottages on shore, and the shore itself, so coolly fresh and shining with dew, and later in the day, by the hue of the grape-vine, the goldfinch on the willow, the flickers flying in flocks, and when we passed near enough to the shore, as we fancied, by the faces of men, that the fall had commenced.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Most holy Satyr,
like a goat,
with horns and hooves
to match thy coat
of russet brown.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
