Famous quotes containing the word nis:

    O yonge fresshe folkes, he or she,
    In which that love up-groweth with your age,

    And of your herte up-casteth the visage
    To thilke God that after his image
    Yow made, and thynketh al nis but a faire
    This world, that passeth sone as floures faire.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400)
