Famous quotes containing the words cross and/or sums:
“Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
The first cat that was ever killed by Care.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
“At Timon’s villalet us pass a day,
Where all cry out,What sums are thrown away!’”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
