Blessed Isle

Famous quotes containing the words blessed and/or isle:

“Had I but died an hour before this chance
I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant
There’s nothing serious in mortality.
All is but toys. Renown and grace is dead;
The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
Is left this vault to brag of.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“She carries in the dishes,
And lays them in a row.
To an isle in the water
With her would I go.”
