Blessed Isle

Famous quotes containing the words blessed and/or isle:

“Oh, Blessed rage for order, pale Ramon,
The maker’s rage to order words of the sea,
Words of the fragrant portals, dimly-starred,
And of ourselves and of our origins,
In ghostlier demarcations, keener sounds.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“She carries in the dishes,
And lays them in a row.
To an isle in the water
With her would I go.”
