Famous quotes containing the words young and/or poet:

Whose limericks never would scan.

But I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can.”

Did not the poet sing it with such airs
That one believed he had a sword upstairs;
Yet would be now, could I but have my wish,
Colder and dumber and deafer than a fish.”
