Famous quotes containing the words coats of, coats and/or arms:

    “creamy iridescent coats of mail,
    with small iridescent flies crawling on them.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    “Over hill, over dale,
    Thorough bush, thorough brier,
    Over park, over pale,
    Thorough flood, thorough fire:
    I do wander everywhere,
    Swifter than the moones sphere;
    And I serve the fairy queen,
    To dew her orbs upon the green.
    The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
    In their gold coats spots you see;
    Those be rubies, fairy favours,
    In those freckles live their savours.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Women have simple tastes. They can get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
