Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or fir:

    “Sing, siren, for thyself, and I will dote;

    “I remember, I remember
    The fir trees dark and high;
    I used to think their slender tops
    Were close against the sky;
    It was a childish ignorance,
    But now ‘tis little joy
    To know I’m further off from Heaven
    Than when I was a boy.”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
