Sir Thomas

Famous quotes containing the words sir thomas and/or sir:

    Forget not yet the tried intent
    Of such a truth as I have meant;
    My great travail so gladly spent
    Forget not yet!
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
    Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
    Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
    All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
    All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
    Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.
    Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)
