Famous quotes containing the words robin and/or williams:

    ‘Lay me a green sod under my head,
    And another at my feet;
    And lay my bent bow at my side,
    Which was my music sweet;
    And make my grave of gravel and green,
    Which is most right and meet.
    —Unknown. Robin Hood’s Death (l. 65–70)

    Then he whirled about
    bounded
    into the air
    and with an entrechat
    perfectly achieved
    completed the figure.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
