Comic Relief Show

Famous quotes containing the words comic, relief and/or show:

For your asking, nor mine, nor what-we-used-to-be’s.

Of serious weeds in a comic lily plot....”

In the house made of dawn,
In the house made of the evening twilight,
In the house made of the dark cloud, ...
Oh, male divinity!
With your moccasins of dark cloud, come to us.”
