Feast

Famous quotes containing the word feast:

    A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes, 10:19.

    My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
    My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
    My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
    And all my good is but vain hope of gain:
    The day is past, and yet I saw no sun,
    And now I live, and now my life is done.
    Chidiock Tichborne (1558–1586)

    How charming is divine philosophy!
    Not harsh and crabbèd, as dull fools suppose,
    But musical as is Apollo’s lute,
    And a perpetual feast of nectared sweets,
    Where no crude surfeit reigns.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
