Famous quotes containing the words white and/or letters:
“But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
Theres a light and a shadow on every man
Who at last attains his lifted mark
Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
Elate he never can be;
He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
Sleep in oblivion.The shark
Glides white through the phosphorus sea.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“Two months dead, I wrestle with your name
Whose separate letters make a paltry sum
That is not you.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
