Famous quotes containing the words herbert and/or berkeley:

    I got me flowers to straw thy way;
    I got me boughs off many a tree;
    But thou wast up by break of day,
    And brought’st thy sweets along with thee.
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Edith: This complete loveliness will fade. And we shall forget what it was like.
    Edward: Edith, don’t.
    Edith: Oh, it’s bound to. Just a few years and the gilt wears off the gingerbread.
    Edward: Darling, answer me one thing truthfully. Have you ever seen gingerbread with gilt on it?
    Edith: [laughing] Fool!
    Edward: Then the whole argument is disposed of.
    —Reginald Berkeley (1890 N1935)
