Speckled Chalcedony Beads

Famous quotes containing the words speckled and/or beads:

    “A speckled cat and a tame hare
    Eat at my hearthstone
    And sleep there;
    And both look up to me alone
    For learning and defence
    As I look up to Providence.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage,
    And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age:
    Pleased with this bauble still, as that before;
    ‘Till tired he sleeps, and life’s poor play is o’er.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
