Famous quotes containing the words alexander, hamilton and/or willard:

    I shall not cease to bless because
    I lay about me with the taws
    That night and morning I may thrash
    Greek Alexander from my flesh,
    Augustus Caesar, and after these
    That great rogue Alcibiades.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Last night there was four Maries,
    The night there’ll be but three;
    There was Marie Seton, and Marie Beton,
    And Marie Carmichael, and me.”
    —Unknown. Mary Hamilton (l. 69–72)

    And such the trust that still were mine,
    Though stormy winds swept o’er the brine,
    Or though the tempest’s fiery breath
    Roused me from sleep to wreck and death.
    In ocean cave, still safe with Thee
    The germ of immortality!
    And calm and peaceful shall I sleep,
    Rocked in the cradle of the deep.
    —Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
