Saint Stories

Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or stories:

    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
    For he today that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
    This day shall gentle his condition.
    And gentlemen in England now abed
    Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    the tide lays down its wet throat
    and alters the land to island—even as I watch
    I say there is no shore
    apart from stories of it,
    no smoke, no hut, no beacon ...
    Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
