Famous quotes containing the words carlos and/or coral:
“I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
firetruck”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! Now I hear them—ding-dong bell.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
