Famous quotes containing the words milton and/or motor:
“Alas! What boots it with uncessant care
To tend the homely slighted shepherd’s trade,
And strictly meditate the thankless Muse?
Were it not better done as others use,
To sport with Amaryllis in the shade,
Hid in the tangles of Neaera’s hair?”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“What shall we do with country quiet now?
A motor drones insanely in the blue
Like a bad bird in a dream.”
