Voice Cards

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or cards:

    “With fingers weary and worn,
    With eyelids heavy and red,
    A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
    Plying her needle and thread—
    Stitch! stitch! stitch!
    In poverty, hunger and dirt
    And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
    She sang the “Song of the Shirt.””
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    “Oft have I played at cards and dice,
    Because they were so enticing;
    But this is a sad and sorrowful day
    To see my apron rising.”
    —Unknown. The Rantin Laddie (l. 1–4)
