Famous quotes containing the words lucullus and/or left:
“Why the ghosts of poor old dead Romans should be dragged in every time a man eats an oyster, I don’t see. We’re as fine specimens as they were. I swear I shan’t let any old turned-to-clay Lucullus outlive me, even if I’ve never eaten a lamprey.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Everyone has left me
except my muse,
that good nurse.
She stays in my hand,
a mild white mouse.”
