Woman Thou Art

Famous quotes containing the words thou art, woman, thou and/or art:

    They shall yet belie thy happy years

    And all is semblative a woman’s part.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Hold back thy hours, dark Night, till we have done;
    The Day will come too soon.
    Young maids will curse thee, if thou steal’st away
    And leav’st their losses open to the day.
    Stay, stay, and hide
    The blushes of the bride.
    Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)

    It is the art of mankind to polish the world, and every one who works is scrubbing in some part.
