quotations about beds
All I've got is a s-s-single bed
There ain't no room for your sweet head
Now ain't it a shame you missed the last train?
'Cause all I've got is a s-s-single bed
BANANARAMA
"S-s-s-single Bed"

The awful image of a nameless dread

Down on our own delightful bed.

with you there
PHEN WESTON
Under the Rose
The day is done
The sun is down
The curtains have been drawn
And darkness has descended over everything in town
The covers have been turned and I've got my pajamas on
I've had my fun
I've stretched and yawned and all is said and done
I'm going to bed
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
"Bed Bed Bed"
Ample make this Bed--
Make this Bed with Awe--
In it wait till Judgment break
Excellent and Fair.
EMILY DICKINSON
Poems
I wonder if you still think about us,
the way I do.
How our legs would crash
into each other in the middle
of the night, and how we ended
up creating the moon in the
confines of our beds.
ZAEEMA J. HUSSAIN
The Sky Is Purple
Nothing makes a bed more comfortable than the ringing of an alarm clock.

Jacula Prudentum
Would you have a settled head,
You must early go to bed;
I tell you, and I tell 't again,
You must be in bed at ten.
NICHOLAS CULPEPER
Letters to Stella
Being sent to bed is a terrible command to all children, because it means the most public possible humiliation in front of adults, the confession that they bear the stigma of childhood, of being small and having a child's need for sleep.
STEFAN ZWEIG

What angel wakes me from my flow'ry bed?
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
A Midsummer Night's Dream
How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the very bottom of their souls to each other; and some old couples often lie and chat over old times till nearly morning.
HERMAN MELVILLE
Moby Dick
I like to do things in bed. I fold the laundry on the bed. Food tastes better to me when I'm under the covers. Bed is the only place to read, the best place to talk on the phone.
ELIZABETH BERG
Range of Motion
It is comforting when one has a sorrow to lie in the warmth of one's bed and there, abandoning all effort and all resistance, to bury even one's head under the cover, giving one's self up to it, completely, moaning like branches in the autumn wind.
MARCEL PROUST
Pleasures and Regrets
The bed comprehends our whole life, for we were born in it, we live in it, and we shall die in it.
GUY DE MAUPASSANT
The Bed
In bed we laugh, in bed we cry;
And born in bed, in bed we die;
The near approach a bed may show
Of human bliss to human woe.
ISAAC DE BENSERADE
A Son Lit
The delight of night-time when, having had to get up to go shiveringly to the icy lavatory in the tower, into which the air creeps through the ill-fitting window, we later return deliciously to our room, feeling a smile of happiness distend our lips, finding it hard not to jump for sheer joy at the thought of the big bed already warm with our warmth, of the still burning fire, the hot-water bottle, the coverlets and blankets which have imparted their heat to the bed into which we are about to slip, walled in, embattled, hiding ourselves to the chin as against enemies thundering at the gates, who will not (and the thought brings gaiety) get the better of us, since they do not even know where we have so snugly gone to earth, laughing at the wind which is roaring outside, climbing up all the chimneys to every floor of the great house, conducting a search on each landing, trying all the locks.
