Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or history:
“the hatchlings wake in the swaying branches,
in the silver baskets,
and love the world.
Is it necessary to say any more?
Have you heard them singing in the wind, above the final fields?
Have you ever been so happy in your life?”
—Mary Oliver (b. 1935)
“A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”
