Le Ton Beau

Famous quotes containing the words ton and/or beau:

    Hearing your words, and not a word among them
    Tuned to my liking, on a salty day
    When inland woods were pushed by winds, that flung them
    Hissing to leeward like a ton of spray,
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    This sort of adoration of the real
    Is but a heightening of the beau ideal.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
