Shirley/places

Famous quotes containing the words shirley and/or places:

“Victorious men of earth, no more
Proclaim how wide your empires are;
Though you bind in every shore
And your triumphs reach as far
As night or day,
Yet you, proud monarchs, must obey
And mingle with forgotten ashes, when
Death calls ye to the crowd of common men.”
—James Shirley (1596–1666)

“Coke and Blackstone hardly shed so much light into obscure spiritual places as the Hebrew prophets.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
