Gorgeous

Famous quotes containing the word gorgeous:

“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air.
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself—
Yea, all which it inherit—shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Her gorgeous death-bed! her rich pyre
Burnt up with aromatic fire!”
—George Darley (1795–1846)

“With nothing to fight any more—
In each other, at least.
See, how gorgeous the world is
Outside the door!”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
