Famous quotes containing the words shirley, temple and/or black:
“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)
“The sound of laughter is like the vaulted dome of a temple of happiness.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“All your ages
Matt and glossy on the thick black pages!”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
