Famous quotes containing the words george e, bud and/or day:

    One way of getting an idea of our fellow-countrymen’s miseries is to go and look at their pleasures.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    And yet no greater, but more eminent,
    Love by the spring is grown;
    As, in the firmament,
    Stars by the sun are not enlarged, but shown,
    Gentle love deeds, as blossoms on a bough,
    From love’s awakened root do bud out now.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    Oh, many a day have I made good ale in the glen,
    That came not of stream, or malt, like the brewing of men;
    My bed was the ground, my roof the greenwood above,
    And the wealth that I sought, one far kind glance from my love.
    —Unknown. The Outlaw of Loch Lene (l. 1–4)
