Pounds Dry

Famous quotes containing the words pounds and/or dry:

    When I was one-and-twenty
    I heard a wise man say,
    “Give crowns and pounds and guineas
    But not your heart away;
    Give pearls away and rubies,
    But keep your fancy free.”
    But I was one-and-twenty,
    No use to talk to me.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    All cries are thin and terse;
    The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
    A cricket like a dwindled hearse
    Crawls from the dry grass.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
