Lord Graves

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or graves:

    Lord Thomas was buried in the church,
    Fair Ellinor in the choir;
    And out from her bosom there grew a red rose
    And out of Lord Thomas a briar.
    —Unknown. Lord Thomas and Fair Annet (l. 77–80)

    Her image was my ensign: snows melted,
    Hedges sprouted, the moon tenderly shone,
    The owls trilled with tongues of nightingale.
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
