Famous quotes containing the words maiden and/or rock:
“Y’are the maiden posies,
And so graced
To be placed
‘Fore damask roses.
Yet though thus respected
By-and-by
Ye do lie,
Poor girls, neglected.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
““O what unlucky streak
Twisting inside me, made me break the line?
What was the rock my gliding childhood struck,
And what bright unreal path has led me here?””
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
