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)

    “Tell me how many beads there are
    In a silver chain
    Of evening rain,
    Unravelled from the tumbling main,
    And threading the eye of a yellow star:—
    So many times do I love again.”
    —Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
