Ash Bed

Famous quotes containing the words ash and/or bed:

“The last cobwebs
of fog in the
black firtrees are flakes
of white ash in the world’s hearth.”

“Now hardly here and there an hackney coach
Appearing, showed the ruddy morn’s approach.
Now Betty from her master’s bed had flown,
And softly stole to discompose her own;
The slipshod ‘prentice from his master’s door
Had pared the dirt, and sprinkled round the floor.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
