Famous quotes containing the words shroud and/or image:
“Until, on Vinegar Hill, the fatal conclave.
Terraced thousands died, shaking scythes at cannon.
The hillside blushed, soaked in our broken wave.
They buried us without shroud or coffin
And in August the barley grew up out of the grave.”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
“Bring us the mirror, you ignorant thing, and be sure not to sully the image by the transmission of your reflection!”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
