Sir William Slim

Famous quotes containing the words sir william and/or slim:

    “A feather bed had every man,
    Warm slippers and hot-water can,
    Brown windsor from the captain’s store,
    A valet, too, to every four.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “With its frame of shaking curls all in disarray,
    earrings swinging,
    make-up smudged by beads of sweat,
    eyes languid at the end of lovemaking,
    may the face of the slim girl
    who’s riding on top of you
    protect you long.
    What’s the use
    of Vi.s».n»u, iva, Skanda,
    and all those other gods?”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
