Famous quotes containing the words mansions, azure and/or dragon:
“To thee, fair Freedom! I retire
From flattery, cards, and dice, and din:
Nor art thou found in mansions higher
Than the low cot, or humble inn.
‘Tis here with boundless pow’r I reign;
And ev’ry health which I begin
Converts dull port to bright champagne;
Such Freedom crowns it, at an inn.”
—William Shenstone (1714–1763)
“Time writes no wrinkles on thine azure brow;
Such as creation’s dawn beheld, thou rollest now.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The dragon wing of night o’erspreads the earth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
