Famous quotes containing the words memory and/or alloy:
“Im sorry that I spelt the word:
I hate to go above you,
BecauseMthe brown eyes lower fell
Because, you see, I love you!
Still memory to a grey-haired man
That sweet child-face is showing.
Dear girl! the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (18071892)
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
