Curtains

Famous quotes containing the word curtains:

“The President has apples on the table
And barefoot servants round him, who adjust
The curtains to a metaphysical t
And the banners of the nation flutter, burst
On the flag-poles in a red-blue dazzle, whack
At the halyards.”

That draws oblivion’s curtains over kings;”

And say what thou seest yond.”
