Words Spelt

Famous quotes containing the words words and/or spelt:

“Canst thou copy in verse one chime
Of the wood-bell’s peal and cry,
Write in a book the morning’s prime,
Or match with words the tender sky?”

“‘I’m sorry that I spelt the word:
I hate to go above you,
Because’Mthe brown eyes lower fell—

Still memory to a grey-haired man
That sweet child-face is showing.
Dear girl! the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing.”
