Browne Told

Famous quotes containing the words browne and/or told:

    Underneath this sable hearse
    Lies the subject of all verse:
    Sidney’s sister, Pembroke’s mother;
    Death ere thou has slain another,
    Fair, and learned, and good as she,
    Time shall throw a dart at thee.
    —William Browne (1591–1643)

    He never told us what he was,
    Or what mischance, or other cause,
    Had banished him from better days
    To play the Prince of Castaways.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
