Famous quotes containing the words deadly and/or storms:
“Chastity prays for me, piety sings,
Innocence sweetens my last black breath,
Modesty hides my thighs in her wings,
And all the deadly virtues plague my death!”

Above, the golden sunlight glows.
Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
As if the storms could give repose.”
