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)
“Thine eyes shall see the light of distant skies:
Yet, Cole! thy heart shall bear to Europes strand
A living image of our own bright land,
Such as upon thy glorious canvas lies;”
—William Cullen Bryant (17941878)
