Famous quotes containing the word guest:
“And here the precious dust is layd;
Whose purely temperd Clay was made
So fine, that it the guest betrayd.
Else the soule grew so fast within,
It broke the outward shell of sinne,
And so was hatchd a Cherubin.”

Take your ill-got plunder, and bury the dead:
What will ye more of your guest and sometime friend?
Blood for our blood, they said.”
—Sir Henry Newbolt (18621938)
“When mothers relatives visited,
delicacies were cooked.
When fathers guest arrrived,
mother swelled and had a fit.”
