Famous quotes containing the word wear:

    I grow old . . . I grow old . . .
    I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

    I do not think that they will sing to me.

    As is the night before some festival
    To an impatient child that hath new robes
    And may not wear them.

    To wear away this long age of three hours
    Between our after-supper and bedtime?
