Pearl Sack

Famous quotes containing the words pearl and/or sack:

    High on a throne of royal state, which far
    Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,
    Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
    Show’rs on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
    Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
    To that bad eminence; and, from despair
    Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
    Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
    Vain war with Heav’n, and by success untaught,
    His proud imaginations
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    If sack and sugar be a fault, God help the wicked! If to be
    old and merry be a sin, then many an old host that I know is
    damned.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
