Memorial Talk

Famous quotes containing the words memorial and/or talk:

    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)

    It shall be said that gods are stone.
    Shall a dropped stone drum on the ground,
    Flung gravel chime? Let the stones speak
    With tongues that talk all tongues.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
