Famous quotes containing the word bed:
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receivd
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that followd,
And else when I carousd, or when my plans were accomplishd,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refreshd, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
