Quick Brown Fox

Famous quotes containing the words quick, brown and/or fox:

    Dark night, that from the eye his function takes,
    The ear more quick of apprehension makes;
    Wherein it doth impair the seeing sense
    It pays the hearing double recompense.

    in the brown baked features
    The eyes of a familiar compound ghost
    Both intimate and unidentifiable.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The lily in splendor, the vine in her grace,
    The fox in the forest, all had their desire,
    As then I had mine, in the place that was happy and poor.
