Cassius Clay

Famous quotes containing the word clay:

    “And here the precious dust is layd;
    Whose purely temper’d Clay was made
    So fine, that it the guest betray’d.

    Else the soule grew so fast within,
    It broke the outward shell of sinne,
    And so was hatch’d a Cherubin.”
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
