Staff Study

Famous quotes containing the words staff and/or study:

    For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
    For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
    For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
    For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
    For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
    For the next a bier to fetch them away.
    Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)

    Gloom and solemnity are entirely out of place in even the most rigorous study of an art originally intended to make glad the heart of man.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
