Ruled Surfaces

Famous quotes containing the words ruled and/or surfaces:

    Here lieth the worthy warrior
    Who never bloodied sword;
    Here lieth the noble counsellor,
    Who never held his word.
    Here lieth his Excellency,
    Who ruled all the state;
    Here lieth the Earl of Leicester,
    Whom all the world did hate.
    Anonymous. 16th century.

    Footnotes are the finer-suckered surfaces that allow tentacular paragraphs to hold fast to the wider reality of the library.
