Greville

Famous quotes containing the word greville:

    And images of self-confusednesses
    Which hurt imaginations only see—
    And from this nothing seen, tells news of devils,
    Which but expressions be of inward evils.
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    In night when colours all to black are cast,
    Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
    The eye—a watch to inward senses placed,
    Not seeing, yet still having power of sight—
    Gives vain alarums to the inward sense
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    Hard-hearted minds relent and rigor’s tears abound,
    And envy strangely rues his end, in whom no fault was found.
    Knowledge her light hath lost, valor hath slain her knight,
    Sidney is dead, dead is my friend, dead is the world’s delight.
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
