Ten Beads

Famous quotes containing the words ten and/or beads:

    Say, is there Beauty yet to find?
    And Certainty? And Quiet kind?
    Deep meadows yet, for to forget
    The lies, and truths, and pain? . . . oh!
    Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
    And is there honey still for tea?
    Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

    Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage,
    And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age:
    Pleased with this bauble still, as that before;
    ‘Till tired he sleeps, and life’s poor play is o’er.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
