Famous quotes containing the words plays, thomas and/or dekker:

    I bow’d not to thy image for succession,
    Nor bound thy bow to shoot reformed kindness,
    Thy plays of hope and fear were my confession,
    The spectacles to my life was thy blindness;
    But Cupid now farewell, I will go play me,
    With thoughts that please me less and less betray me.
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    In the beginning was the secret brain.
    The brain was celled and soldered in the thought
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
    Smiles awake you when you rise.
    Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
    And I will sing a lullaby:
    Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
    —Thomas Dekker (1572?–1632?)
