Twelve Islands

Famous quotes containing the words twelve and/or islands:

    Yet I well remember
    The favors of these men. Were they not mine?
    Did they not sometimes cry “All hail!” to me?
    So Judas did to Christ; but He, in twelve,
    Found truth in all but one; I, in twelve thousand, none.

    we are so many
    and many within themselves
    travel to far islands but no one
    asks for their story....
