Barks

Famous quotes containing the word barks:

“Satiety is a mongrel that barks at the heels of plenty.”
—Minna Antrim (1861–?)

“Society is all but rude,
To this delicious solitude.

No white nor red was ever seen
So amorous as this lovely green.
Fond lovers, cruel as their flame,
Cut in these trees their mistress’ name:
Little, alas, they know or heed
How far these beauties hers exceed!
Fair trees, wheresoe’er your barks I wound,
No name shall but your own be found.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“Helen, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nicean barks of yore,”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
