Song Received

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or received:

    Lest all the song notes
    pause and break
    across a blood-stained throat
    gone songless,
    turn back.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.”
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
