Mounting Bd Mark

Famous quotes containing the words mounting and/or mark:

    “Grim-visaged War hath smoothed his wrinkled front;
    And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds
    To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
    He capers nimbly in a lady’s chamber
    To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “It may be the more
    That no line of her writing have I,
    Nor a thread of her hair,
    No mark of her late time as dame in her dwelling, whereby
    I may picture her there.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
