Mount Laurel

Famous quotes containing the words mount and/or laurel:

“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“Let arms yield to the toga, let the [victor’s] laurel yield to the [orator’s] tongue.”
