Famous quotes containing the words locks, saint, lawrence and/or river:

    “Many a kiss, both odd and even;
    Many a glance, too, has been sent
    From out the eye, love’s firmament;
    Many a jest told of the keys betraying
    This night, and locks picked; yet we’re not a-Maying!”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “Child in the womb,
    Or saint on a tomb
    Which way shall I lie
    To fall asleep?”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “There must be a profound recognition that parents are the first teachers and that education begins before formal schooling and is deeply rooted in the values, traditions, and norms of family and culture.”

    “The river sweats
    Oil and tar
    The barges drift
    With the turning tide”
