Sir Thomas Robinson

Famous quotes containing the words sir, thomas and/or robinson:

    “There are a sort of men whose visages
    Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
    And do a willful stillness entertain,
    With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
    Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
    As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
    And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!””
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Burning in the bride bed of love, in the whirl-
    Pool at the wanting centre, in the folds
    Of paradise, in the spun bud of the world.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “He may have seen with his mechanic eyes
    A world without a meaning, and had room,
    Alone amid magnificence and doom,
    To build himself an airy monument”
