Tea Cups

Famous quotes containing the words tea and/or cups:

    “My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky;
    It’s time to take the window to see Leerie going by;
    For every night at tea-time and before you take your seat,
    With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    “When cups went round at close of day
    Is not that how good stories run?
    The gods were sitting at the board
    In their great house at Slievenamon.
    They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
    For all were full of wine and meat.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
