Firs Plates

Famous quotes containing the words firs and/or plates:

“the broad cloud-driving moon in the clear sky
Lifts o’er the firs her shining shield,
And in her tranquil light
Sleep falls on forest and field.
See! sleep hath fallen: the trees are asleep:
The night is come. The land is wrapt in sleep.”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

“Realms and islands were
As plates dropped from his pocket.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
