Famous quotes containing the words unknown, clerk and/or saunders:
“All nature is but art unknown to thee;

One truth is clear, “Whatever IS, is RIGHT.””

That unto logyk hadde longe ygo.
As leene was his hors as is a rake,
And he nas nat right fat, I undertake,
But looked holwe, and therto sobrely.”
