Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or clouds:
“The lullaby is the spell whereby the mother attempts to transform herself back from an ogre to a saint.”
—James Fenton (b. 1949)
“But he her fears to cease
Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
She, crowned with olive green, came softly sliding
Down through the turning sphere,
His ready harbinger,
With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing,
And waving wide her myrtle wand,
She strikes a universal peace through sea and land.”
—John Milton (16081674)
