Wood Played

Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or played:

    Let the palings of her bed
    Be quince and box-wood overlaid
    with the scented bark of yew.
    That all the wood in blossoming,
    May calm her heart and cool her blood
    For losing of her maidenhood.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    High on a throne of his own labors reared.
    At his right hand our young Ascanius sate,
    Rome’s other hope and pillar of the state.
    His brows thick fogs, instead of glories, grace,
    And lambent dullness played around his face.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
