Famous quotes containing the words named and/or honour:

    “who should moor at his edge
    And fare on afoot would find gates of no gardens,
    But the hill of dark underfoot diving,
    Closing overhead, the cold deep, and drowning.
    He is called Leviathan, and named for rolling,”
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

    “I shall not want Honour in Heaven
    For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney
    And have talk with Coriolanus
    And other heroes of that kidney.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
