Silvery Scales

Famous quotes containing the words silvery and/or scales:

    “Flouncing your skirts, you blueness of joy, you flirt of
    politeness,
    You leap, you intelligence, essence of wheelness with silvery nose,
    And your platinum clocks of excitement stir like the hairs of a
    fern.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “Love once
    Tipped the scales but now is shadowed, invisible,
    Though mysteriously present, around somewhere.”
