Famous quotes containing the words campbell and/or cross:
“The waters wild went o’er his child,
And he was left lamenting.”
—Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)
“Expecting me to grovel,
she carefully covers both feet
with the hem of her skirt.
She pretends to hide
a coming smile
and won’t look straight at me.
When I talk to her,
she chats with her friend
in cross tones.
Even this slim girl’s rising anger
delights me,
let alone her deep love.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
