Famous quotes containing the words ivy and/or hill:
“Yet once more, O ye laurels, and once more,
Ye myrtles brown, with ivy never-sere,
I come to pluck your berries harsh and crude,
And with forc’d fingers rude
Shatter your leaves before the mellowing year.
Bitter constraint and sad occasion dear
Compels me to disturb your season due:
For Lycidas is dead, dead ere his prime”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“This sanguine coward, this bed-presser, this horse-back-
breaker, this huge hill of flesh.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
