Famous quotes containing the words lovers and/or rock:

    “You ask what I have found and far and wide I go,
    Nothing but Cromwell’s house and Cromwell’s murderous crew,
    The lovers and the dancers are beaten into the clay,
    And the tall men and the swordsmen and the horsemen where are they?”

    Beside the crystal fountains.
    So come with me, we’ll go and see
    The Big Rock Candy Mountains.”
