Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or plain:
“The vines of her arms
didnt cling to the ends of his clothes,
or did she plant herself in the doorway,
hurl herself at his feet,
or utter the word Stay!
But as that fool began to go
at the time when it was dark with swarming clouds,
the slim girl blocked her lovers way
with only a rising river
made with her flood of tears.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“They would have me as familiar with mens pockets as their
gloves or their handkerchiefs; which makes much against my
manhood, if I should take from anothers pocket to put into
mine; for it is plain pocketing up of wrongs.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
