Famous quotes containing the word shape:

    “Bid her paint till day of doom,
    To this favour she must come.
    Bid the merchant gather wealth,
    The usurer exact by stealth,
    The proud man beat it from his thought,
    Yet to this shape all must be brought.”
    —Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)
