Hum

Famous quotes containing the word hum:

“Mine be a cot beside the hill;
A bee-hive’s hum shall soothe my ear;
A willowy brook, that turns a mill,
With many a fall shall linger near.”

“The hum of multitudes was there, but multitudes of lambs,
Thousands of little boys and girls raising their innocent hands.”

“Buz, quoth the blue fly,
Hum, quoth the bee,
Buz and hum they cry,
And so do we:
In his ear, in his nose, thus, do you see?
He ate the dormouse, else it was he.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
