What is misty?

Famous quotes containing the word misty:

    His more memorable passages are as naturally bright as gleams of sunshine in misty weather. Nature furnishes him not only with words, but with stereotyped lines and sentences from her mint.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
    Out of a misty dream
    Our path emerges for a while, then closes
    Within a dream.
    Ernest Christopher Dowson (1867–1900)

    Those flowers, that gate,
    These misty parks and motors, lacerate
    Simply by being over; you
    Contract my heart by looking out of date.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
