Coal Brought

Famous quotes containing the words coal and/or brought:

    “The room’s very hot, with all this crowd,” the Professor said to Sylvie. “I wonder why they don’t put some lumps of ice in the grate? You fill it with lumps of coal in the winter, you know, and you sit round it and enjoy the warmth. How jolly it would be to fill it now with lumps of ice, and sit round it and enjoy the coolth!”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    To nothing fitter can I thee compare
    Than to the son of some rich pennyfather,
    Who, having now brought on his end with care,
    Leaves to his son all he had heaped together;
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
