Dish

Famous quotes containing the word dish:

    My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
    My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
    My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
    And all my good is but vain hope of gain:
    The day is past, and yet I saw no sun,
    And now I live, and now my life is done.
    Chidiock Tichborne (1558–1586)

    Is it enough
    That the dish of milk is set out at night,
    That we think of him sometimes,
    Sometimes and always, with mixed feelings?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    You make a toast for tomorrow
    and smash the cup,
    letting your false women lap the dish I had to fatten up.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
