Scarlet Song

Famous quotes containing the words scarlet and/or song:

    Along the avenue of cypresses,
    All in their scarlet cloaks and surplices
    Of linen, go the chanting choristers,
    The priests in gold and black, the villagers. . . .
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    I shall not sing a May song.
    A May song should be gay.
    I’ll wait until November
    And sing a song of gray.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
