Famous quotes containing the words tom and/or brown:

    “And the Angel told Tom if he’d be a good boy,
    He’d have God for his father & never want joy.

    And so Tom awoke and we rose in the dark
    And got with our bags & our brushes to work.
    Tho’ the morning was cold, Tom was happy & warm,
    So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “in the brown baked features
    The eyes of a familiar compound ghost
    Both intimate and unidentifiable.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
