Lantern Ring

Famous quotes containing the words lantern and/or ring:

    “... It may be Prester John’s balloon
    Or an old battered lantern hung aloft
    To light poor travellers to their distress.”
    She then: “How you digress!”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.”
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
