Famous quotes containing the words greasy and/or lustre:
“When icicles hang by the wall,
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail;
When blood is nipped, and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl:
Tu-whit, tu-whoo!—
A merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“After a lustre of the moon, we say
We have not the need of any paradise,
We have not the need of any seducing hymn.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
