Comic Scenes

Famous quotes containing the words comic and/or scenes:

    Good manners, Madam, are had these days not
    For your asking, nor mine, nor what-we-used-to-be’s.
    The day is a loud grenade that bursts a smile
    Of serious weeds in a comic lily plot....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    From scenes like these old Scotia’s grandeur springs,
    That makes her loved at home, revered abroad;
    Princes and lords are but the breath of kings,
    “An honest man’s the noblest work of God!”
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
