Famous quotes containing the word jug:
“On the Coast of Coromandel
Where the early pumpkins blow,
In the middle of the woods
Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
Two old chairs, and half a candle,—
One old jug without a handle,—
These were all his worldly goods:
In the middle of the woods,”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
“Twit twit twit
Jug jug jug jug jug jug
So rudely forc’d.
Tereu”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
