Widow Spiders

Famous quotes containing the words widow and/or spiders:

    “Here’s to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
    Here’s to the widow of fifty;
    Here’s to the flaunting extravagant queen;
    And here’s to the housewife that’s thrifty.
    Let the toast pass,—
    Drink to the lass,
    I’ll warrant she’ll prove an excuse for the glass.”
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    “Only the rich remember the past,
    The strawberries once in the Apennines,
    Philadelphia that the spiders ate.”
