Bay Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words bay and/or leaves:

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.”

then thickly the differentiated
true leaves of the seedlings ...”
