Michael Nurse

Famous quotes containing the words michael and/or nurse:

    While Michael Angelo’s Sistine roof,
    His “Morning” and his “Night” disclose
    How sinew that has been pulled tight,
    Or it may be loosened in repose,
    Can rule by supernatural right
    Yet be but sinew.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    O comfort-killing night, image of hell,
    Dim register and notary of shame,
    Black stage for tragedies and murders fell,
    Vast sin-concealing chaos, nurse of blame!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
