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)
“The Plains are not forgiving. Anything that is shallowthe easy optimism of a homesteader; the false hope that denies geography, climate, history; the tree whose roots dont reach ground waterwill dry up and blow away.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
