Famous quotes containing the words upper, camel and/or case:
“When my old wife lived, upon
This day she was both pantler, butler, cook,
Both dame and servant, welcomed all, served all,
Would sing her song and dance her turn, now here
At upper end o’the table, now i’the middle,
On his shoulder, and his, her face afire
With labor, and the thing she took to quench it
She would to each one sip.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“a camel comes handy
Wherever it’s sandy—
Anywhere does for me.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
“And the case of butterflies so rich it looks
As if all summer settled there and died.”
