Sir Robert Ayton

Famous quotes containing the words robert and/or ayton:

    This is The End—of the Beginning.
    Rip Van Ronkel, and Robert A. Heinlein (1907–1988)

    The morning rose, that untouched stands
    Armed with her briars, how sweet she smells!
    But plucked and strained through ruder hands,
    Her sweets no longer with her dwells,
    But scent and beauty both are gone,
    And leaves fall from her, one by one.
    —Sir Robert Ayton (1570–1638)
