Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or cowper:
“A lady with soft eyes like funeral tapers,
And face that seemed wrought out of moonlit vapours,
And a sad mouth, that fear made tremulous
As any ruddy moth, looked down on us;
And she with a wave-rusted chain was tied
To two old eagles, full of ancient pride....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Once more I would adopt the graver style—
A teacher should be sparing of his smile.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
