Covered

Famous quotes containing the word covered:

“The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And the musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)

“The earth is all alive and covered with papillæ.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“When the light was extinguished,
She covered me warm,
And she prayed to the angels
To keep me from harm—”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
