Famous quotes containing the words mark and/or essex:

    Love’s mysteries in souls do grow,
    But yet the body is his book.
    And if some lover, such as we,
    Have heard this dialogue of one,
    Let him still mark us, he shall see
    Small change, when we’re to bodies gone.”
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    The unknown always seems unbelievable, Lucas.
    —Harry Essex (b. 1910)
