Famous quotes containing the word breathed:

“There once was a brainy baboon
Who always breathed down a bassoon,
For he said, “It appears
That in billions of years
I shall certainly hit on a tune.””
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“Where a multitude of men breathed joy and woe
Long ago;
Lust of glory pricked their hearts up, dread of shame
Struck them tame;”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
