Famous quotes containing the word feast:

    “This day is called the Feast of Crispian.
    He that outlives this day and comes safe home

    And rouse him at the name of Crispian.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The actions of each dancer were scrutinized with great care and any little mistake noted and remembered. The strain upon a dancer was consequently so great that when a fine dancer died soon after a feast it was said, “The peoples’ looks have killed him.””
    —Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “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)
