"Give Me My Scallop-Shell of Quiet..."

A Sir Walter Raleigh quote? Sure!

Posted February 22, 2010

Give me my scallop-shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation,
My gown of glory, hope’s true gage;
And thus I’ll take my pilgrimage.
-- Sir Walter Raleigh
