Monk Seal

Famous quotes containing the words monk and/or seal:

    A monk ther was, a fair for the maistrie,
    An outridere, that lovede venerie,
    A manly man, to been an abbot able.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
