Quotes
'A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea.' - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
'My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress when she walks treads on the ground: And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare, As any she belied with false compare.' - William Shakespeare
'The stately homes of England, How beautiful they stand! Amidst their tall ancestral trees, O'er all the pleasant land.' - Noel Coward
