Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or campion:

    The masses of the sea
    The masses of the sea under
    The masses of the infant-bearing sea
    Erupt, fountain, and enter to utter for ever
    Glory glory glory
    The sundering ultimate kingdom of genesis’ thunder.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Only beauty purely loving
    Knows no discord,

    But still moves delight,
    Like clear springs renewed by flowing,
    Ever perfect, ever in them-
    Selves eternal.
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
