Crowe

Famous quotes containing the word crowe:

“God have mercy on the sinner
Who must write with no dinner,

No gravy and no grub,
No pewter and no pub.

No belly and no bowels,
Only consonants and vowels.”

Dragging his infected wound homeward
To sit tonight with the warm children
Naming the pretty kings of France.”

“Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
To an inordinate race?”
