Speckled

Famous quotes containing the word speckled:

    Mark you the floore? that square & speckled stone,
    Which looks so firm and strong,
    Is Patience:
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    It’s lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky, up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made, or only just happened—Jim he allowed they was made, but I allowed they happened; I judged it would have took too long to make so many.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    A speckled cat and a tame hare
    Eat at my hearthstone
    And sleep there;
    And both look up to me alone
    For learning and defence
    As I look up to Providence.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
