Quotes with Bourne

• I am a part of all that I have met, / Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough / Gleams that untraveled world, whose margin fades / Forever and forever when I move. / How dull it is to pause, to make an end, / To rust unburnished, not to shine in use! / As though to breathe were life! Life piled on life / Were all too little, and of one to me / Little remains: but every bourne of time / Is a starting-point whence we must sail / Into the dark, beyond the bourne, beyond the sunset, / Beyond the limits of the earth and air, / Beyond the reach of any man or God. - Alfred Lord Tennyson, Ulysses
• This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England, / This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings, / Fear'd by their breed and famous by their birth, / Renowned for their deeds as far from home, / For Christian service and true chivalry, / As is the sepulchre in stubborn Jewry / Of the world's ransom, blessed Mary's son, / This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land, / Dear for her reputation through the world, / Is now leas'd out, I die pronouncing it, / Like to a tenement or pelting farm: / England, bound in with the triumphant sea / Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege / Of wat'ry Neptune, is now bound in with shame, / With inky blots and rotten parchment bonds: / That England, that was wont to conquer others, / Hath made a shameful conquest of itself. / Ah, would the scandal vanish with my life, / How happy then were my ensuing death! / The bourne betwixt these worlds / The happy realm of England. - William Shakespeare, Richard II
