Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or scholars:

“And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

“Write about winter in the summer. Describe Norway as Ibsen did, from a desk in Italy; describe Dublin as James Joyce did, from a desk in Paris. Willa Cather wrote her prairie novels in New York City; Mark Twain wrote Huckleberry Finn in Hartford, Connecticut. Recently, scholars learned that Walt Whitman rarely left his room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
