Signet Dawn

Famous quotes containing the words signet and/or dawn:

    “Commerce has set the mark of selfishness,
    The signet of its all-enslaving power,
    Upon a shining ore, and called it gold:
    Before whose image bow the vulgar great,
    The vainly rich, the miserable proud,
    The mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and kings,
    And with blind feelings reverence the power
    That grinds them to the dust of misery.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “These be
    Three silent things:
    The falling snow ... the hour
    Before the dawn ... the mouth of one
    Just dead.”
    —Adelaide Crapsey (1878–1914)
