Bit Beasts

Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or beasts:

    “Across the lonely beach we flit,
    One little sandpiper and I;
    And fast I gather, bit by bit,
    The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
    The wild waves reach their hands for it,
    The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
    As up and down the beach we flit—
    One little sandpiper and I.”
    —Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

    “This stable is a Prince’s court.
    This crib His chair of state;
    The beasts are parcel of His pomp,
    The wooden dish His plate.”
    —Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
