Auld Mound

Famous quotes containing the words auld and/or mound:

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot
    And never brought to mind?
    ...
    We’ll tak a cup o’kindness yet,
    For auld lang syne.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street,
    Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
    Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
    Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder’s gone,
    I must lie down where all the ladders start,
    In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
