Famous quotes containing the words brain and/or coral:
“Invention flags, his brain goes muddy,
And black despair succeeds brown study.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
“Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! Now I hear them—ding-dong bell.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
