Green Livery

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or livery:

    Time kills me terribly.
    “Time shall not murder you,” He said,
    “Nor the green nought be hurt;
    Who could hack out your unsucked heart,
    O green and unborn and undead?”
    I saw time murder me.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Whether, if you yield not to your father’s choice,
    You can endure the livery of a nun,
    For aye to be in shady cloister mewed,
    To live a barren sister all your life,
    Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.
    Thrice blessed they that master so their blood
    To undergo such maiden pilgrimage.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
