Famous quotes containing the words darling and/or buds:
““A girl I had, but she followed another,
Money I had, and it went in the night,
Strong drink I had, and it brought me to sorrow,
But a good strong cause and blows are delight.”
All there caught up the tune:
“On, on, my darling man.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“It is Nature’s own bird which lives on buds and diet-drink.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
