Famous quotes containing the words sixth, circuit and/or stay:
“The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.”

The never altered circuit of his fate,
Bringing twelve peers as witness
Both to his starry rise and starry fall.”

I know as few can know,
Whether they take the upper road
Or stay content on the low....”
