Famous quotes containing the word dyer:

    Below me trees unnumbered rise,
    Beautiful in various dyes:
    The gloomy pine, the poplar blue,
    The yellow beech, the sable yew,
    The slender fir that taper grows,
    The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.
    —John Dyer (1699–1758)

    My mind to me a kingdom is;
    Such present joys therein I find
    That it excels all other bliss
    That earth affords or grows by kind.
    Though much I want which most would have,
    Yet still my mind forbids to crave.
    —Sir Edward Dyer (c. 1540–1607)
