Added Specimens

Famous quotes containing the words added and/or specimens:

“And each man is marked for toil,
Much labour is his fate,
Nor is there any new hurt
That may be added to the race.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“A tattered copy of Johnson’s large Dictionary was a great delight to me, on account of the specimens of English versifications which I found in the Introduction. I learned them as if they were so many poems. I used to keep this old volume close to my pillow; and I amused myself when I awoke in the morning by reciting its jingling contrasts of iambic and trochaic and dactylic metre, and thinking what a charming occupation it must be to “make up” verses.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
