Famous quotes containing the words silver, cross and/or hospital:
“Keep the home fires burning,
While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There’s a silver lining
Through the dark cloud shining;
Turn the dark cloud inside out,
Till the boys come home.”

Irrevocably: thereby such light is freed
That all the dingy hospital of snow
Dies back to ditches.”
