Famous quotes containing the words troyan, plum and/or brandy:
“The moon shines bright. In such a night as this,
When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees,
And they did make no noise, in such a night
Troilus methinks mounted the Troyan walls,
And sighed his soul toward the Grecian tents,
Where Cressid lay that night.”

The boy she dropped from darkness at her side
Into the sided lap of light grew strong....”

Distinguished, and familiar, and aloof.”
