Famous quotes containing the words michael drayton, michael and/or drayton:

    Upon Saint Crispin’s day
    Fought was this noble fray,
    Which fame did not delay
    To England to carry.
    On when shall Englishmen
    With such acts fill a pen,
    Or England breed again
    Such a King Harry?
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    Locked in each human skull is a little world all its own.
    Robert Tusker, and Michael Curtiz. Dr. Xavier (Lionel Atwill)

    Show me no more those snowy breasts
    With azure riverets branched
    Where, whilst mine eye with plenty feasts
    Yet is my thirst not staunched;
    O Tantalus, thy pains ne’er tell,
    By me thou are prevented;
    ‘Tis nothing to be plagued in Hell,
    But thus in Heaven tormented.
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
