Famous quotes containing the words began and/or calling:
“When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
Such was their luster, they did so excel,
That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
Decking the sense as if it were to sell.”
—George Herbert (15931633)
“Watching a woman make Russian pancakes, you might think that she was calling on the spirits or extracting from the batter the philosophers stone.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
