Court Show

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or show:

“At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
To seem a statesman.”

“Made on machine,” he said, plowing the grain
With thick thumbnail to show how it ran
Across the handle’s long-drawn serpentine,
Like the two strokes across a dollar sign.”
