Brothers Wet Whisker

Famous quotes containing the words brothers, wet and/or whisker:

    “Come, dear children, let us away;
    Down and away below!
    Now my brothers call from the bay,
    Now the great winds shoreward blow,
    Now the salt tides seaward flow;
    Now the wild white horses play,
    Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “Like a wet log, I sang within a flame.
    In that last while, eternity’s confine,
    I came to love, I came into my own.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    “The hapless Nymph with wonder saw:
    A whisker first and then a claw,
    With many an ardent wish,
    She stretch’d in vain to reach the prize.
    What female heart can gold despise?
    What Cat’s averse to fish?”
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
