Famous quotes containing the words cast and/or characters:

    Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
    That brave vibration each way free,
    O how that glittering taketh me!
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    Waxed-fleshed out-patients
    Still vague from accidents,
    And characters in long coats
    Deep in the litter-baskets
    All dodging the toad work
    By being stupid or weak.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
