Famous quotes containing the words banquet and/or scene:
“Welcome the Creations Guest,
Lord of Earth, and Heavens Heir.
Lay aside that Warlike Crest,
And of Natures banquet share:
Where the Souls of fruits and flowrs
Stand prepard to heighten yours.”
—Andrew Marvell (16211678)
“But whatever happens, wherever the scene is laid, somebody, somewhere, will quietly set outsomebody has already set out, somebody still rather far away is buying a ticket, is boarding a bus, a ship, a plane, has landed, is walking toward a million photographers, and presently he will ring at my doora bigger, more respectable, more competent Gradus.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
