Famous quotes containing the words william and/or rose:

    And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist—
    I don’t think she’d be missed—I’m sure she’d not be
    missed!
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    And all shall be well and
    All manner of thing shall be well
    When the tongues of flame are in-folded
    Into the crowned knot of fire
    And the fire and the rose are one.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
