Clay Court Season

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

“I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country.

I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
To seem a statesman.”

Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.”
