Palace Lock Heart

Famous quotes containing the words palace, lock and/or heart:

    How the Chimney-sweepers cry
    Every blackning Church appalls,
    And the hapless Soldiers sigh
    Runs in blood down Palace walls
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    then take off your flesh,
    unpick the lock of your bones.
    In other words
    take off the wall
    that separates you from God.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    What’s past and what’s to come is strewed with husks
    And formless ruin of oblivion;
    But in this extant moment, faith and truth,
    Strained purely from all hollow bias-drawing,
    Bids thee, with most divine integrity,
    From heart of very heart, great Hector, welcome!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
