Famous quotes containing the words barnes and/or tavern:
“Leaves of the summer, lovely summer’s pride,
Sweet is the shade below your silent tree,”
—William Barnes (1801–1886)
“Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
squandering your unquoted mirth,
which keeps the ground, and never soars,
while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
goes like bullet to its mark;
while the solid curse and jeer
never balk the waiting ear.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
