Famous quotes containing the words chapel, island and/or nation:

    “I went to the Garden of Love,
    And saw what I never had seen:
    A Chapel was built in the midst,
    Where I used to play on the green.
    And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
    And ‘Thou shalt not’ writ over the door;”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “Beyond this island bound
    By a thin sea of flesh
    And a bone coast ...”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “The use of force alone is but temporary. It may subdue for a moment; but it does not remove the necessity of subduing again: and a nation is not governed, which is perpetually to be conquered.”
