Gay Brothers

Famous quotes containing the words gay and/or brothers:

    If love the virgin’s heart invade,
    How, like a moth, the simple maid
    Still plays about the flame!
    —John Gay (1685–1732)

    Last night I watched my brothers play,
    The gentle and the reckless one,
    In a field two yards away.
    For half a century they were gone
    Beyond the other side of care
    To be among the peaceful dead.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
