Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or shirley:
“Give me the islands of the upper air,
all mountains
and the towering mountain trees.”

“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)
