Famous quotes containing the words soggy, bottom and/or boys:

    “The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap
    Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge
    Through living roots awaken in my head.
    But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    “The very bottom and the soul of hope,
    The very list, the very utmost bound
    Of all our fortunes.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Keep the home fires burning,
    While your hearts are yearning,
    Though your lads are far away
    They dream of home.
    There’s a silver lining
    Through the dark cloud shining;
    Turn the dark cloud inside out,
    Till the boys come home.”
    —Lena Guilbert Ford (1870–1916)
