Air Base Ground

Famous quotes containing the words air, base and/or ground:

    “Make me a willow cabin at your gate,
    And call upon my soul within the house;
    Write loyal cantons of contemned love,
    And sing them loud even in the dead of night;
    Halloo your name to the reverberate hills,
    And make the babbling gossip of the air
    Cry out “Olivia!” O, you should not rest
    Between the elements of air and earth
    But you should pity me.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.”
    —Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)

    “Having interr’d her Infant-birth,
    The watry ground that late did mourn,
    Was strew’d with flow’rs for the return
    Of the wish’d Bridegroom of the earth.”
    —Edward Herbert (1583–1648)
