Famous quotes containing the words lie and/or beaumont:
“The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.”
—Freya Stark (b. 1893–1993)
“Lay a garland on my hearse,
Of the dismal yew;
Maidens, willow branches bear;
Say I died true.”
—Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)
