Sugar Sinks

Famous quotes containing the words sugar and/or sinks:

    “Naughty Paughty Jack-a-Dandy,
    Stole a Piece of Sugar Candy
    From the Grocer’s Shoppy-Shop,
    And away did hoppy-hop.”
    —Henry Carey (1693?–1743)

    “I am dead against art’s being self-expression. I see an inherent failure in any story which fails to detach itself from the author—detach itself in the sense that a well-blown soap-bubble detaches itself from the bowl of the blower’s pipe and spherically takes off into the air as a new, whole, pure, iridescent world. Whereas the ill-blown bubble, as children know, timidly adheres to the bowl’s lip, then either bursts or sinks flatly back again.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
