Bay Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words bay and/or leaves:

“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”

“Free verse leaves out the meter and makes up
For the deficiency by church intoning.
Free verse, so called, is really cherished prose....”
