Famous quotes containing the words coat of, coat and/or arms:

    “Commit a crime and the world is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge and fox and squirrel and mole.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There’s not a shirt and a half in all my company, and the half
    shirt is two napkins tacked together and thrown over the
    shoulders like a herald’s coat without sleeves.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ““Vengeance upon the murderers,” the cry goes up,
    “Vengeance for Jacques Molay.” In cloud-pale rags, or in lace,
    The rage-driven, rage-tormented, and rage-hungry troop,
    Trooper belabouring trooper, biting at arm or at face,
    Plunges towards nothing, arms and fingers spreading wide
    For the embrace of nothing....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
