Meadows Place

Famous quotes containing the words meadows and/or place:

    When daisies pied and violets blue,
    And lady-smocks, all silver-white,
    And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
    Do paint the meadows with delight,
    The cuckoo then on every tree
    Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
    Cuckoo!
    Cuckoo, cuckoo—O word of fear,
    Unpleasing to a married ear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The impersonal insensitive friendliness which takes the place of ceremony in that land of waifs and strays.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
