Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or welch:

    If thee thy brittle beauty so deceives,
    Know then the thing that swells thee is thy bane;
    For the same beauty doth, in bloody leaves.
    The sentence of thy early death contain.
    —Sir Richard Fanshawe (1608–1666)

    He promised
    that life would go on as usual,
    that treaties would be signed, and everyone—
    man, woman and child—would be inoculate
    against a world in which we had no part,
    a world of money, promise and disease.
    —James Welch (b. 1940)
