“Is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts.”
William Shakespeare
“Pale, beyond porch and portal,/ Crowned with calm leaves, she stands,/ Who gathers all things mortal/ With cold immortal hands.”
Algernon Charles Swinburne
“The moon's an arrant thief,And her pale fire she snatches from the sun.”
“I suppose there were moonless nights and dark ones with but a silver shaving and pale stars in the sky, but I remember them all as flooded with the rich indolence of a full moon.”
Willa Sibert Cather
“Affection faints not like a pale-faced coward,But then woos best when most his choice is froward.”
“Over hill, over dale,Thorough bush, thorough brier,Over park, over pale,Thorough flood, thorough fire,I do wander everywhere.”
“We despise all reverences and all objects of reverence which are outside the pale of our list of sacred things and yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy for us”
Mark Twain
