Famous quotes containing the words sad, eyed and/or lady:
“Lift not thy spear against the Muses bower:
The great Emathian conqueror bid spare
The house of Pindarus, when temple and tower
Went to the ground; and the repeated air
Of sad Electras poet had the power
To save the Athenian walls from ruin bare.”
—John Milton (16081674)
“This morning, there flew up the lane
A timid lady-bird to our bird-bath
And eyed her image dolefully as death;”

that I looked almost like
a puritan lady and what
I remember best is that
the door to your room was
the door to mine.”
