Skies

Famous quotes containing the word skies:

“the green hells of the sea
Where fallen skies and evil hues and eyeless creatures be;
On them the sea-valves cluster and the grey sea-forests curl,
Splashed with a splended sickness, the sickness of the pearl;”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

“Glory be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

“The skies look grimly
And threaten present blusters.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
