Famous quotes containing the words dive and/or skin:
“Go! dive into the Southern Sea, and when
Thast found, to trouble the nice sight of men,
A swelling pearl, and such whose single worth
Boasts all the wonders which the seas bring forth,
Give it Endymions love, whose evry tear
Would more enrich the skilful jeweller.”
—Sir William Davenant (16061668)
“What, is the jay more precious than the lark
Because his feathers are more beautiful?
Or is the adder better than the eel
Because his painted skin contents the eye?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
