Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or campion:

    I have been told to reason by the heart,
    But heart, like head, leads helplessly;
    I have been told to reason by the pulse,
    And, when it quickens, alter the actions’ pace
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The fairy queen
    Bids you increase that loving humour more.
    They that have not yet fed
    On delight amorous,
    She vows that they shall lead
    Apes in Avernus.
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
