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

    The form of act or thought mattered nothing. The hymns of David, the plays of Shakespeare, the metaphysics of Descartes, the crimes of Borgia, the virtues of Antonine, the atheism of yesterday and the materialism of to-day, were all emanation of divine thought, doing their appointed work. It was the duty of the church to deal with them all, not as though they existed through a power hostile to the deity, but as instruments of the deity to work out his unrevealed ends.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    And wilt thou leave me thus?
    That hath loved thee so long
    In wealth and woe among:
    And is thy heart so strong
    As for to leave me thus?
    Say nay! say nay!
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    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)
