Virtue Hall

Famous quotes containing the words virtue and/or hall:

    See where she comes, apparelled like the spring.
    Graces her subjects, and her thoughts the king
    Of every virtue gives renown to men.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
    roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
    yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
    frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
    O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)
