Dead Language

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or language:

    So up and down I sow them
    For lads like me to find,
    When I shall lie below them,
    A dead man out of mind.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Nothing so fretful, so despicable as a Scribbler, see what I am, & what a parcel of Scoundrels I have brought about my ears, & what language I have been obliged to treat them with to deal with them in their own way;Mall this comes of Authorship.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
