Famous quotes containing the words sang and/or venus:
“When cups went round at close of day
Is not that how good stories run?
The gods were sitting at the board
In their great house at Slievenamon.
They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
For all were full of wine and meat.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“And Venus to the Loves around
Remarked how ill we all dissembled.”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
