Ormus/history

Famous quotes containing the words ormus and/or history:

“He hangs in shades the orange bright,
Like golden lamps in a green night,
And does in the pomegranates close
Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
And throws the melons at our feet;
But apples plants of such a price
No tree could ever bear them twice.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
