Famous quotes containing the words armour and/or japanese:

    “The man whose silent days
    In harmless joys are spent,
    Whom hopes cannot delude,
    Nor sorrow discontent:

    That man needs neither towers
    Nor armour for defence,
    Nor secret vaults to fly
    From thunder’s violence.”
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    “I am a lantern—
    My head a moon
    Of Japanese paper, my gold beaten skin
    Infinitely delicate and infinitely expensive.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
