Reed Beds

Famous quotes containing the words reed and/or beds:

    And the frigid burnings of purgatory will not be touched
    By any emollient.
    —Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    Nature in darkness groans
    And men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night:
    Restless they turn on beds of sorrow; in their inmost brain
    Feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words
    Of stern philosophy & knead the bread of knowledge with tears & groans.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
