Official Sung Verse

Famous quotes containing the words official, sung and/or verse:

    There are few ironclad rules of diplomacy but to one there is no exception. When an official reports that talks were useful, it can safely be concluded that nothing was accomplished.
    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    There lies intact that chalice of ours,
    And its presence adds to the rhyme of love
    Persistently sung by the fall above.
    No lip has touched it since his and mine
    In turns therefrom sipped lover’s wine.”
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    When I a verse shall make,
    Know I have prayed thee,
    For old religion’s sake,
    Saint Ben, to aid me.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
