Sleeping Infants

Famous quotes containing the words sleeping and/or infants:

    “A stirring dwarf we do allowance give

    “But O, young beauty of the woods,
    Whom Nature courts with fruits and flowers,
    Gather the flowers, but spare the buds;
    Lest Flora, angry at thy crime
    To kill her infants in their prime,
    Do quickly make the example yours;
    And ere we see,
    Nip in the blossom all our hopes and thee.”
