Star Rod

Famous quotes containing the words star and/or rod:

    “I put the gold star up in the front window
    beside the flag. Alterations is what I know
    and what I did: hems, gussets and seams.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “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)
