Famous quotes containing the word gorgeous:
“O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars
Are in the poorest thing superfluous.
Allow not nature more than nature needs,
Man’s life is cheap as beast’s. Thou art a lady;
If only to go warm were gorgeous,
Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear’st,
Which scarcely keeps thee warm. But, for true need—
You heavens, give me that patience, patience I need!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“With nothing to fight any more—
In each other, at least.
See, how gorgeous the world is
Outside the door!”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Her gorgeous death-bed! her rich pyre
Burnt up with aromatic fire!”
—George Darley (1795–1846)
