Famous quotes containing the words mercy and/or west:
“No ceremony that to great ones longs,
Not the kings crown, nor the deputed sword,
The marshals truncheon, nor the judges robe,
Become them with one half so good a grace
As mercy does.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“These emblems of twilight have seen at length,
And the man red-faced and tall seen, leaning
In the day of his strength
Not as a pine, but the stiff form
Against the west pillar....”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
