Picked

Famous quotes containing the word picked:

—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Never tell me that not one star of all
That slip from heaven at night and softly fall
Has been picked up with stones to build a wall.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“For there I picked up on the heather
And there I put inside my breast
A moulted feather, an eagle-feather!
Well, I forget the rest.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
