Famous quotes containing the words world, short, mat and/or bowls:
“And men left down their work and came,
And women with petticoats coloured like flame.
And little bare feet that were blue with cold,
Went dancing back to the age of gold,
And all the world went gay, went gay,
For half an hour in the street to-day.”
—“Seumas” “O’Sullivan” (1879–1958)
“The absence of the beloved, short though it may last, always lasts too long.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“Or on the Mat devoutly kneeling
Would lift her Eyes up to the Ceiling,
And heave her Bosom unaware
For neighb’ring Beaux to see it bare.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it.”
—Cole Porter (1893–1964)
