Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or ring:
“Man was Cadavers masker, the harnessing mantle,
Windily master of man was the rotten fathom,
My ghost in his metal neptune
Forged in mans mineral.
This was the god of beginning in the intricate seawhirl,
And my images roared and rose on heavens hill.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
“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 (15331603)
