Grandmother Clock

Famous quotes containing the words grandmother and/or clock:

“My grandmother stood among her kettles and ladles.
Smiling, in faulty grammar,
She praised my fortune and urged my lofty career.
So to please her I studied—but I will remember always
How she poured confusion out, how she cooled and labeled
All the wild sauces of the brimming year.”
—Mary Oliver (b. 1935)

“They’ll take suggestion as a cat laps milk;
They’ll tell the clock to any business that
We say befits the hour.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
