Quotes
“The sight of London to my exil'd eyes Is as Elysium to a new-come soul: Not that I love the city or the men, But that it harbours him I hold so dear,-- The king, upon whose bosom let me lie, And with the world be still at enmity.”
More quotes
“What need the arctic people love star-light, To whom the sun shines both by day and night?”
“My heart is as an anvil unto sorrow, Which beats upon it like the Cyclops' hammers, And with the noise turns up my giddy brain, And makes me frantic for my Gaveston.”
