Drop

Famous quotes containing the word drop:

    Water, water, everywhere,
    Nor any drop to drink.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    O make harmonious mix of voice and string
    To him by whom the skies with clouds are lin’d;
    By whom the rain, from clouds to drop assign’d,
    Supples the clods of summer-scorched fields,
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXLVII (Paraphrased by The Countess of Pembroke)

    If you address a ghost as “Thing!”
    Or strike him with a hatchet,
    He is permitted by the King
    To drop all formal parleying—
    And then you’re sure to catch it!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
