Famous quotes containing the words king, wen and/or heaven:

    “King Herod shrieking vengeance at the curled
    Up knees of Jesus choking in the air,

    A king of speechless clods and infants. Still
    The world out-Herods Herod;”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “You may have a wen or a cancer upon your person and not be able to cut it out lest you bleed to death; but surely it is no way to cure it, to engraft it and spread it over your whole body.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “My long two-pointed ladder’s sticking through a tree
    Toward heaven still,
    And there’s a barrel that I didn’t fill
    Beside it, and there may be two or three
    Apples I didn’t pick upon some bough.
    But I am done with apple-picking now.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
