Famous quotes containing the words murray, prince, edward and/or island:

    Because you live, O Christ,
    the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying,
    our cages of despair no longer keep us closed and life-denying.
    The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison!
    O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen!
    —Shirley Erena Murray (20th century)

    Charles, Prince Of Wales (b. 1948)

    “And what will you leave to your own mother dear,
    Edward, Edward?
    And what will ye leave to your own mother dear,
    My dear son, now tell me, O?”
    “The curse of hell from me shall ye bear,
    Mother, mother;
    —Unknown. Edward (l. 49–54)

    The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
