Famous quotes containing the words rye and/or house:

    “When as the rye reach to the chin,
    And chopcherry, chopcherry ripe within,
    Strawberries swimming in the cream,
    And school-boys playing in the stream;”
    —George Peele (1559–1596)

    “When cups went round at close of day
    Is not that how good stories run?
    The gods were sitting at the board
    In their great house at Slievenamon.
    They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
    For all were full of wine and meat.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
