Wooden Ears

Famous quotes containing the words wooden and/or ears:

    So, laying his cheek against the dresser’s wooden one,

    Not every child wanted to listen to.

    Highway, since you my chief Parnassus be,
    And that my Muse, to some ears not unsweet,
    Tempers her words to trampling horses’ feet
    More oft than to a chamber-melody,
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
