Straw Hats Find

Famous quotes containing the words straw, hats and/or find:

    “The tender skin does not shrink from bayonets, the timid woman is not scared by fagots; the rack is not frightful, nor the rope ignominious. The poor Puritan, Antony Parsons, at the stake, tied straw on his head when the fire approached him, and said, “This is God’s hat.””
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There is the rich quarter, with its houses of pink and white, and
    its crumbling, leafy terraces.
    There is the poorer quarter, its homes a deep blue.
    There is the market, where men are selling hats and swatting flies”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
    Like a colossus, and we petty men
    Walk under his huge legs and peep about
    To find ourselves dishonorable graves.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
