“To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.”
Helen Keller
“Right now it's very clay-like soil that holds a lot of water and gets real spongy. The clay soil holds the water so the fields stay wet. We can't mow it and then it's unsafe to play on. It's a vicious cycle.”
Dan TerAvest
“He has his cast off and a spongy thing on it, but the feeling hasn't even come back in his wrist yet. There's a very small chance he'll play… There's a stronger possibility of him being a factor on Saturday.”
Dave Glasgow
“It's not spongy like commodity chicken.”
Denis Dronne
“But his kiss was so sweet, and so closely he pressed, that I languished and pined till I granted the rest.”
John Gay
“He's not pining, he's passed on. This parrot is no more. He has ceased to be. He's expired and gone to meet his maker. He's a stiff, bereft of life, he rests in peace. If you hadn't have nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies. He's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!”
Monty Python
“Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought, And with a green and yellow melancholy She sat like patience on a monument, Smiling at grief”
William Shakespeare
