Rod String

Famous quotes containing the words rod and/or string:

“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)

“Supposing everyone lived at one time what would they say. They would observe that stringing string beans is universal.”
