Famous quotes containing the words corner and/or brook:
“Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs,
Rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys,
Advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm,
Retreating to the corner of arm and knee,
Eager to be reassured, taking pleasure
In the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Under an oak, whose antique root peeps out
Upon the brook that brawls along this wood.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
