Famous quotes containing the words plays, thomas and/or heywood:

    The plays of children are nonsense, but very educative nonsense. So it is with the largest and solemnest things, with commerce, government, church, marriage, and so with the history of every man’s bread, and the ways by which he is to come by it.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Who then is she,
    She holding me? The people’s sea drives on her,
    Drives out the father from the caesared camp;
    The dens of shape
    Shape all her whelps with the long voice of water,
    That she I have,
    The country-handed grave boxed into love....
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Wake from thy nest, robin redbreast!
    Sing, birds, in every furrow,
    And from each bill let music shrill
    Give my fair Love good morrow!
    —Thomas Heywood (1575?–1650)
