Called Mother

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or mother:

    My mother had a maid called Barbary;
    She was in love, and he she loved proved mad,
    And did forsake her. She had a song of “Willow,”
    An old thing ‘twas, but it expressed her fortune,
    And she died singing it. That song tonight
    Will not go from my mind.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When my mother died I was very young,
    And my father sold me while yet my tongue,
    Could scarcely cry weep weep weep weep.
    So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
