Imperial Armour Volume

Famous quotes containing the words imperial, armour and/or volume:

    “When your fathers fixed the place of GOD,
    And settled all the inconvenient saints,
    Apostles, martyrs, in a kind of Whipsnade,
    Then they could set about imperial expansion
    Accompanied by industrial development.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “The man whose silent days
    In harmless joys are spent,
    Whom hopes cannot delude,
    Nor sorrow discontent:

    That man needs neither towers
    Nor armour for defence,
    Nor secret vaults to fly
    From thunder’s violence.”
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    “She carries a book but it is not
    the tome of the ancient wisdom,
    the pages, I imagine, are the blank pages
    of the unwritten volume of the new.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
