Ground Beetles

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or beetles:

    Having interr’d her Infant-birth,
    The watry ground that late did mourn,
    Was strew’d with flow’rs for the return
    Of the wish’d Bridegroom of the earth.

    What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
    Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
    That beetles o’er his base into the sea,
    And there assume some other horrible form
    Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
    And draw you into madness?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
