Famous quotes containing the words nonsense and/or syllables:
“Poet, patting more nonsense foamed
From the sea, conceive for the courts
Of these academies, the diviner health
Disclosed in common forms.”

And her quick look, a sidelong pickerel smile;
And how, once startled into talk, the light syllables leaped for
her.”
