Quotes about Livery


The cunning livery of hell.

William Shakespeare

Mislike me not for my complexion,
The shadow'd livery of the burnish'd sun.

William Shakespeare

Now came still evening on, and twilight gray
Had in her sober livery all things clad;
Silence accompany'd; for beast and bird,
They to their grassy couch, these to their nests,
Were slunk, all but the wakeful nightingale;
She all night long her amorous descant sung;
Silence was pleas'd. Now glow'd the firmament
With living sapphires; Hesperus, that led
The starry host, rode brightest, till the moon,
Rising in clouded majesty, at length
Apparent queen unveil'd her peerless light,
And o'er the dark her silver mantle threw.

John Milton

He was a man
Who stole the livery of the court of Heaven
To serve the Devil in.

Robert Pollok

William Shakespeare

Now came still evening on; and twilight gray Had in her sober livery all things clad: Silence accompanied; for beast and bird, They to they grassy couch, these to their nests, Were slunk, all but the wakeful nightingale.
