Famous quotes containing the words honours and/or memorials:

    “Come hither, all ye empty things,
    Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
    Who float upon the tide of state,
    Come hither, and behold your fate.
    Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
    How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
    From all his ill-got honours flung,
    Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “My titillations have no foot-notes
    And their memorials are the phrases
    Of idiosyncratic music.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
