Famous quotes containing the words state and/or monument:
“In his sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four packs,—
Which was coming it strong,
Yet I state but the facts;
And we found on his nails, which were taper,
What is frequent in tapers,—that’s wax.”

“Thou art a monument without a tomb,
And art alive still while thy book doth live
And we have wits to read and praise to give.”
