Famous quotes containing the words lone, star and/or cup:
“At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping, I fly
To the lone vale we loved when life was warm in thine eye,”

“It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
