A large expanse of land covered in purple heath or heather.
The phrase is a metaphor comparing the lonely, curving road over a desolate moor to a sleek, curled or twisting ribbon, perhaps bright yellow in the moonlight. The Romany people ("Gypsies") are known for their colorful traditional costumes and have a reputation, unearned or not, for being thieves. This excerpt is from the poem, "The Highwayman," by Alfred Noyes, and tells the tragic love story of a robber and his sweetheart.
Green because of the grass but often from far away look purple \'cause of all the heather growing on it. So basically purple and green.
It was a ghastly night when the Highway Man came riding to Bess' old Inn-door. One could not have seen the rough country road stretching across the grass-grown moor, had not the scanty moonlight from the cloud-covered sky fallen on it, illuminating it. Thus it appeared as a far stretching band of moonlight against the dark green vegetation bordering and lining either side. Besides it was inky black darkness among the bordering trees. Though written during the early years of the Twentieth century, don't think that it was a macademized tarred black road.
A moor is an open area of land.
The homophone for "more" is "moor."
I went boating on the moor yesterday. I like to walk my dog on the moor near my house. The sheep graze peacefully on the moor.
