Purple Heart Memorial

Famous quotes containing the words purple, heart and/or memorial:

    Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
    It fell upon a little western flower,
    Before, milk-white; now purple with love’s wound:
    And maidens call it “love-in-idleness.”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The moon gives you light,
    And the bugles and the drums give you music,
    And my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans,
    My heart gives you love.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.”
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
