Coal Brought

Famous quotes containing the words coal and/or brought:

    And in their blazing solitude
    The stars sang in their sockets through the night:

    The coal of this unquickened world.”
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Lady —— is safely delivered of a son, to the great joy of that noble family. The expression, of a woman’s having brought her husband a son, seems to be a proper and cautious one; for it is never said, from whence.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
