Famous quotes containing the words hamilton and/or island:

    “Strew your gladness on earth’s bed,
    So be merry, so be dead.”
    —Charles Hamilton Sorley (1895–1915)

    “I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
