Lay Quarters

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or quarters:

    These are the clouds about the fallen sun,
    The majesty that shuts his burning eye:
    The weak lay hand on what the strong has done,
    Till that be tumbled that was lifted high
    And discord follow upon unison....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    He stood, and heard the steeple
    Sprinkle the quarters on the morning town.
    One, two, three, four, to market-place and people
    It tossed them down.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
