Grim Adventures

Famous quotes containing the words grim and/or adventures:

“—But he, grim grinning King,
Who caitiffs scorns, and doth the blest surprise,
Late having deck’d with beauty’s rose his tomb,
Disdains to crop a weed, and will not come.”
—William Drummond, of Hawthornden (1585–1649)

—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
