Sable/description

Famous quotes containing the words sable and/or description:

    Underneath this sable hearse
    Lies the subject of all verse:
    Sidney’s sister, Pembroke’s mother;
    Death ere thou has slain another,
    Fair, and learned, and good as she,
    Time shall throw a dart at thee.
    William Browne (1591–1643)

    He hath achieved a maid
    That paragons description and wild fame;
    One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
