Covered

Famous quotes containing the word covered:

    Nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known.

    While the body’s life, deep as a covered well,
    Instinctive as the wind, busy as May,
    Burns out a secret passageway to hell.

    O eloquent, just, and mighty Death! whom none could advise, thou hast persuaded; what none hath dared, thou hast done; and whom all the world hath flattered, thou only hath cast out of the world and despised. Thou hast drawn together all the far-stretched greatness, all the pride, cruelty, and ambition of man, and covered it all over with these two narrow words, Hic jacet!
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
