Famous quotes containing the words june, march and/or battle:
“I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds and bowers,
Of April, May, of June and July-flowers;
I sing of May-poles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes,
Of bridegrooms, brides and of their bridal cakes;
I write of youth, of love, and have access
By these to sing of cleanly wantonness;”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)
“Daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
