Famous quotes containing the words garden and/or bed:
“Ah, yet, ere I descend to the grave,
May I a small house and large garden have;
And a few friends, and many books, both true,
Both wise, and both delightful too!
And since love ne’er will from me flee,
A mistress moderately fair,
And good as guardian angels are,
Only beloved and loving me.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
“Tell me who is able to keep his bed chaste, or which goddess is able to live with one god alone?”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
