Upturned Card

Famous quotes containing the words upturned and/or card:

    “My love lies underground
    With her face upturned to mine,
    And her mouth unclosed in a last long kiss
    That ended her life and mine.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “In the game of “Whist for two,” usually called “Correspondence,” the lady plays what card she likes: the gentleman simply follows suit. If she leads with “Queen of Diamonds,” however, he may, if he likes, offer the “Ace of Hearts”: and, if she plays “Queen of Hearts,” and he happens to have no Heart left, he usually plays “Knave of Clubs.””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
