Scenic World

Famous quotes containing the words scenic and/or world:

    “Hence from scenic bacchanal,
    Preshrunk and droll prodigal!
    Smallness that you had to spend,
    Spent. Wench, whiskey and tail-end
    Of your overseas disease
    Rot and rout you by degrees.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king
    So rudely forced: yet there the nightingale
    Filled all the desert with inviolable voice
    And still she cried, and still the world pursues,
    “Jug Jug” to dirty ears.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
