Lay Speaking

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or speaking:

“An old man, broken with the storms of state,
Is come to lay his weary bones among ye:
Give him a little earth for charity.”

“But there is nothing which delights and terrifies our English Theatre so much as a Ghost, especially when he appears in a bloody Shirt. A Spectre has very often saved a Play, though he has done nothing but stalked across the Stage, or rose through a Cleft of it, and sunk again without speaking one Word.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
