Coloured Bubbles

Famous quotes containing the words coloured and/or bubbles:

    I would in rich and golden coloured raine,
    With tempting showers in pleasant sort discend,
    Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)

    Come hither, all ye empty things,
    Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
    Who float upon the tide of state,
    Come hither, and behold your fate.
    Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
    How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
    From all his ill-got honours flung,
    Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
