Long Bones

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or bones:

    “Then think I thus: sith such repair,
    So long time war of valiant men,
    Was all to win a lady fair,
    Shall I not learn to suffer then,
    And think my life well spent to be,
    Serving a worthier wight than she?”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    “Pardon, goddess of the night,
    Those that slew thy virgin knight,
    For the which, with songs of woe,
    Round about her tomb they go.
    Midnight, assist our moan;
    Help us to sigh and groan,
    Heavily, heavily.
    Graves, yawn and yield your dead,
    Till death be uttered,
    Heavily, heavily.
    Now unto thy bones good night!
    Yearly will I do this rite.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
