Famous quotes containing the words beldame and/or honors:
“Diseased nature oftentimes breaks forth
In strange eruptions; oft the teeming earth
Is with a kind of colic pinched and vexed
By the imprisoning of unruly wind
Within her womb, which, for enlargement striving,
Shakes the old beldame earth, and topples down
Steeples and moss-grown towers.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
