Lay Brothers

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or brothers:

    And salted was my food, and my repose,
    Salted and sobered, too, by the bird’s voice
    Speaking for all who lay under the stars,
    Soldiers and poor, unable to rejoice.
    Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

    Wi’ joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet,
    An’ each for other’s weelfare kindly spiers:
    The social hours, swift-winged, unnoticed fleet;
    Each tells the uncos that he sees or hears;
    The parents, partial, eye their hopeful years;
    Anticipation forward points the view:
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
