Bit Lines

Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or lines:

    “Across the lonely beach we flit,
    One little sandpiper and I;
    And fast I gather, bit by bit,
    The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
    The wild waves reach their hands for it,
    The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
    As up and down the beach we flit—
    One little sandpiper and I.”
    —Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

    “When the rose reigns, and locks with ointments shine,
    Let rigid Cato read these lines of mine.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
