Substantial Forms

Famous quotes containing the words substantial and/or forms:

    The glories of our blood and state
    Are shadows, not substantial things;
    There is no armour against fate;
    Death lays his icy hand on kings:
    Sceptre and crown
    Must tumble down,
    And in the dust be equal made
    With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
    James Shirley (1596–1666)

    Three forms I see on stretchers lying, brought out there untended
    lying,
    Over each the blanket spread, ample brownish woolen blanket,
    Gray and heavy blanket, folding, covering all.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
