Day Memorial

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or memorial:

    Came vested all in white, pure as her mind.
    Her face was veiled; yet to my fancied sight
    Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shined
    So clear as in no face with more delight.
    But, O! as to embrace me she inclined,
    I waked, she fled, and day brought back my night.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.”
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
