Grenade/design

Famous quotes containing the words grenade and/or design:

“Good manners, Madam, are had these days not
For your asking, nor mine, nor what-we-used-to-be’s.
The day is a loud grenade that bursts a smile
Of serious weeds in a comic lily plot....”

A design for living
Deeper into matter—
Not without due patter
Of a great misgiving.”
