Davis Told

Famous quotes containing the words davis and/or told:

    While the light burning within may have been divine, the outer case of the lamp was assuredly cheap enough. Whitman was, from first to last, a boorish, awkward poseur.
    —Rebecca Harding Davis (1831–1910)

    Many a kiss, both odd and even;
    Many a glance, too, has been sent
    From out the eye, love’s firmament;
    Many a jest told of the keys betraying
    This night, and locks picked; yet we’re not a-Maying!
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
