Famous quotes containing the words stages of and/or stages:

    Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
    Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
    And the profit and loss.
    A current under sea
    Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell

    Entering the whirlpool.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Whoe’er has travelled life’s dull round,
    Where’er his stages may have been,
    May sigh to think he still has found
    The warmest welcome, at an inn.
    William Shenstone (1714–1763)
