Pearl Buttons

Famous quotes containing the words pearl and/or buttons:

“Then must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought,
Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand,
Like the base Judean threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe.”

and a winding pathway. Then the child
puts in a man with buttons like tears”
