Famous quotes containing the words yellow, plastic and/or bucket:
“He will watch from dawn to gloom
The lake-reflected sun illume
The yellow bees in the ivy-bloom,
Nor heed nor see, what things they be;
But from these create he can
Forms more real than living man,
Nurslings of immortality!”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“The plastic surgeon’s knife slashes at time, which may seem to retreat, but then keeps on coming.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“And now, far removed from the loved habitation,
The tear of regret will intrusively swell,
As fancy reverts to my father’s plantation,
And sighs for the bucket that hung in the well.”
—Samuel Woodworth (1788–1842)
