Famous quotes containing the word wash:
“When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And finds too late that men betray,
What charm can soothe her melancholy,
What art can wash her guilt away?
The only art her guilt to cover,
To hide her shame from every eye,
To give repentance to her lover,
And wring his bosomis to die.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?1774)
“Even like two little bank-dividing brooks,
That wash the pebbles with their wanton streams,
And having ranged and searched a thousand nooks,
Meet both at length in silver-breasted Thames
Where in a greater current they conjoin:
So I my Best-Beloveds am, so he is mine.”
—Francis Quarles (15921644)
“Little Orphant Annies come to our house to stay,
An wash the cups an saucers up, an brush the crumbs away,”
—James Whitcomb Riley (18491916)
