Famous quotes containing the word brim:

    An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    If there were, oh! an Hellespont of cream
    Between us, milk-white mistress, I would swim
    To you, to show to both my love’s extreme,
    Leander-like,—yea! dive from brim to brim.
    John Davies (c.1565–1618)

    The Wye is hush’d nor moved along,
    And hush’d my deepest grief of all,
    When fill’d with tears that cannot fall,
    I brim with sorrow drowning song.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
