Famous quotes containing the words earth and/or tones:
“I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country.

I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“‘Tis not that thy mien is stately,
‘Tis not that thy tones are soft;”
