Famous quotes containing the word spawn:
“This monster of a land, this mightiest of nations, this spawn of the future, turns out to be the macrocosm of microcosm me.”

“Wherefore did Nature powre her bounties forth,
With such a full and unwithdrawing hand,
Covering the earth with odours, fruits, and flocks,
Thronging the Seas with spawn innumerable,
But all to please, and sate the curious taste?”
