Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or season:
“Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The art of medicine in the season lies:
Wine given in season oft will benefit,
Which out of season injures.”
