Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or circle:

    They said they were an-hungry; sighed forth proverbs—
    That hunger broke stone walls, that dogs must eat,
    That meat was made for mouths, that the gods sent not
    Corn for the rich men only.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It was my heaven’s extremest sphere,
    The pale which held that lovely deer;
    My joy, my grief, my hope, my love,
    Did all within this circle move!
    Edmund Waller (1606–1687)
