Lay Speaking

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or speaking:

    “Orpheus with his Lute made Trees,
    And the Mountaine tops that freeze,
    Bow themselves when he did sing.
    To his Musicke, Plants and Flowers
    Ever spring; as Sunne and Showres,
    There had been a lasting Spring.
    Every thing that heard him play,
    Even the Billowes of the Sea,
    Hung their heads, and then lay by.
    In sweet Musicke is such Art,
    Killing care, and griefe of heart,
    Fall asleepe, or hearing dye.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Let our conversation now be without precedent in fact or literature, each one speaking to the best of his ability the truth to the best of his knowledge.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
