Famous quotes containing the words george h:

    Farewell deare flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
    Fit, while ye liv’d, for smell or ornament,
    And after death for cures.
    I follow straight without complaints or grief,
    Since if my sent be good, I care not, if
    It be as short as yours.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
