Famous quotes containing the words murder and/or lindsay:

    Methought I heard a voice cry “Sleep no more!
    Macbeth does murder sleep,” the innocent sleep,
    Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care,
    The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath,
    Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,
    Chief nourisher in life’s feast.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Coal-black maidens with pearls in their hair,
    Knee skirts trimmed with the jassamine sweet,
    And bells on their ankles and little black feet.
    —Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
