Famous quotes containing the words closest and/or clusters:
“Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech.”

As made us nobly wild, not mad;
And yet each verse of thine
Outdid the meat, outdid the frolic wine.”
