Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or book:

    “Lay down, lay down the bigly bier,
    Lat me the dead look on;
    Wi’ cherry cheeks and ruby lips
    She lay an’ smil’d on him.

    O ae sheave o’ your bread, true-love,
    An’ ae glass o’ your wine,
    For I hae fasted for your sake
    These fully day [is] nine.”
    —Anna Gordon Brown (1747–1810)

    “I haven’t read one book about
    A book or memorized one plot,
    Or found a mind I did not doubt,
    I learned one date. And then forgot.
    And one by one the solid scholars
    Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”
    —William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
