Bleached Flour

Famous quotes containing the words bleached and/or flour:

    “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”)

    “But age, allas that al wol envenime,
    Hath me biraft my beautee and my pith—
    Lat go, farewel, the devel go therwith!
    The flour is goon, ther is namore to telle:”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
