Greasy Spoons

Famous quotes containing the words greasy and/or spoons:

    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)

    Bless all useful objects,
    the spoons made of bone,
    the mattress I cook my dreams upon,
    the typewriter that is my church
    with an altar of keys always waiting.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
