Andrew Lang Quotes

Here’s a pot with a cot in a parkIn a park where the peach-blossoms blew,Where the lovers eloped in the dark,Lived, died and were changed into twoBright birds that eternally flewThrough the boughs of the may, as they sang;’T is a tale was undoubtedly trueIn the reign of the Emperor Hwang.
