384 William Shakespeare 1564-1616 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:384
AUTHOR:William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
QUOTATION:Full fathom five thy father lies;
  Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
  Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
