Greasy Lustre

Famous quotes containing the words greasy and/or lustre:

    When icicles hang by the wall,
    And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
    And Tom bears logs into the hall,
    And milk comes frozen home in pail;
    When blood is nipped, and ways be foul,
    Then nightly sings the staring owl:
    Tu-whit, tu-whoo!—
    A merry note,
    While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In that whiter Island, where
    Things are evermore sincere;
    Candor here, and lustre there
    Delighting:
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
