Eastman Dry Plate

Famous quotes containing the words eastman, dry and/or plate:

    With a generous endowment of motherhood provided by legislation, with all laws against voluntary motherhood and education in its methods repealed, with the feminist ideal of education accepted in home and school, and with all special barriers removed in every field of human activity, there is no reason why woman should not become almost a human thing. It will be time enough then to consider whether she has a soul.
    —Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    Waters above! Eternal springs!
    The dew that silvers the Dove’s wings!
    O welcome, welcome to the sad:
    Give dry dust drink, drink that makes glad!
    Many fair ev’nings, many flow’rs
    Sweetened with rich and gentle showers,
    Have I enjoyed,
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    Say “Yessum” to the ladies, an’ “Yessur” to the men,
    And when they’s company, don’t pass yer plate for pie again;
    But, thinkin’ of the things yer’d like to see upon that tree,
    Jes ‘fore Christmas be as good as yer kin be!
    Eugene Field (1850–1895)
