Bobby Blue Bland

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or bland:

    “It was beginning winter,
    An in-between time,
    The landscape still partly brown:
    The bones of weeds kept swinging in the wind,
    Above the blue snow.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    “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)
