Quotations for clad

Slowly, slowly falls night's curtain
Over all the wide-spread land;
And the angels of the twilight
At the gates of heaven stand.

Clad in robes of tender gray;
And before their gracious presence,
Fades the sun's last lingering ray. [ C. E, Charles ]

Though they be clad in silk or scarlet. [ Proverb ]

Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastern hill. [ William Shakespeare, Hamlet ]
