Famous quotes containing the words spot, blotch and/or wheat:
“A spot whereon the founders lived and died
Seemed once more dear than life; ancestral trees,
Or gardens rich in memory glorified
Marriages, alliances, and families,
And every bride’s ambition satisfied.”

Blight her brow with blotch and blister,
Cramp her larynx, lung and liver,
In her guts a galling give her.”
