Famous quotes containing the words thompson and/or coupling:

    “Fold up the banners! Smelt the guns!
    Love rules, Her gentler purpose runs.
    A mighty mother turns in tears
    The pages of her battle years,
    Lamenting all her fallen sons!”
    —Will Henry Thompson (1848–1918)

    “The time of the seasons and the constellations
    The time of milking and the time of harvest
    The time of the coupling of man and woman
    And that of beasts. Feet rising and falling.
    Eating and drinking. Dung and death.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
