Famous quotes containing the words john, edward and/or taylor:

    Oh for some honest lover’s ghost,
    Some kind unbodied post
    Sent from the shades below!
    I strangely long to know
    Whether the nobler chaplets wear
    Those that their mistress’ scorn did bear,
    Or those that were used kindly.
    —Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)

    We take along a carrot
    As refreshment for the parrot,
    And a little can of jungleberry tea.
    —Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)

    Brute animals have the vowel sounds; man only can utter consonants.
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
