Famous quotes containing the words pass and/or play:

    “Bring me an axe and spade,
    Bring me a winding-sheet;
    When I my grave have made
    Let winds and tempests beat:
    Then down I’ll lie as cold as clay.
    True love doth pass away!”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “For sometimes it is shown to me in dreams
    The Eden that all wish to recreate
    Out of their living, from their favourite times;
    The miraculous play where all their dead take part,
    Once more articulate....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
