Clay Court Season

Famous quotes containing the words clay, court and/or season:

    “He is in the tailor mending my pantsuit.
    He is in Boston, raised up by the skyscrapers.
    He is in the bird, that shameless flyer.
    He is in the potter who makes clay into a kiss.
    Heaven replies:
    Not so! Not so!”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “GOETHE, raised o’er joy and strife,
    Drew the firm lines of Fate and Life,
    And brought Olympian wisdom down
    To court and mar, to gown and town,
    Stooping, his finger wrote in clay
    The open secret of to-day.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “At Christmas I no more desire a rose
    Than wish a snow in May’s new-fangled shows,
    But like of each thing that in season grows.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
