Famous quotes containing the words parcel, post and/or treaty:

    “I will die a hundred thousand deaths
    Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat,
    The mist in my face,
    When the snows begin, and the blasts denote
    I am nearing the place,
    The power of the night, the press of the storm,
    The post of the foe;
    Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form,
    Yet the strong man must go:”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “The hand that signed the treaty bred a fever,
    And famine grew, and locusts came;
    Great is the hand that holds dominion over
    Man by a scribbled name.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
