Here lies David Garrick, describe me, who can,
An abridgment of all that was pleasant in man.

Line 93.Oliver Goldsmith
» Oliver Goldsmith - all quotes »
His [David Garrick's] death has eclipsed the gaiety of nations, and impoverished the public stock of harmless pleasure.
Samuel Johnson
I'll come no more behind your scenes, David [Garrick]; for the silk stockings and white bosoms of your actresses excite my amorous propensities.
Samuel Johnson
Pleasant, summer, and slow long day;
Also pleasant to pass out of chastisement
Pleasant, the blossoms on the tops of the pear-trees;
Also pleasant, friendship with the Creator.Taliesin
Pleasant, the eagle on the shore of the sea when it flows;
Also pleasant, sea-gulls playing.
Pleasant, a horse with gold-enamelled trappings;
Also pleasant to be honest in a breach.Taliesin
Pleasant, a steed in a leather halter;
Also pleasant, alliance with a king.
Pleasant, the hero that destroys not the yielding;
Also pleasant, the splendid Cymraec language.Taliesin
