Flat Bed

Famous quotes containing the words flat and/or bed:

    Twenty-two years ago Judge [then-Senator Stephen] Douglas and I first became acquainted. We were both young then; he a trifle younger than I. Even then, we were both ambitious; I, perhaps, quite as much so as he. With me, the race of ambition has been a failure—a flat failure; with him it has been one of splendid success.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Burning in the bride bed of love, in the whirl-
    Pool at the wanting centre, in the folds
    Of paradise, in the spun bud of the world.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
