Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or world:
“The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or other testimony of summer nights.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“I don’t see the good of a country gentleman. Buying and selling;Mthat’s what the world has to go by.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
