Sir Thomas Leigh

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

    O Ye that put your trust and confidence
    In worldly joy and frail prosperity,
    That so live here as ye should never hence,
    Remember death and look here upon me.

    Altarwise by owl-light in the half-way house
    The gentleman lay graveward with his furies;
    Abaddon in the hangnail cracked from Adam,
    And, from his fork, a dog among the fairies,
    The atlas-eater with a jaw for news,
    Bit out the mandrake with to-morrow’s scream.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Thank God! none of my children have an atom of poetry in their composition!
    —Augusta Leigh (1783–1851)
