Famous quotes containing the words august and/or orthodox:

    To go by the asters
    and breathe
    the sweetness that hovers
    in August about the tall milkweeds,
    without a direct look ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
    You may get a bland smile from these sages;
    But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
    Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
