Band Cups

Famous quotes containing the words band and/or cups:

    And the heavy night hung dark
    The hills and waters o’er,
    When a band of exiles moored their bark
    On the wild New England shore.
    Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)

    When cups went round at close of day
    Is not that how good stories run?
    The gods were sitting at the board
    In their great house at Slievenamon.
    They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
    For all were full of wine and meat.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
