Famous quotes containing the words david and/or bridal:
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It was my bridal night I remember,
An old man of seventy-three
I lay with my young bride in my arms,
A girl with t.b.”
—Stevie Smith (1902–1971)
