Famous quotes containing the word calm:

“There was calm rapture in the way she spoke
Perhaps I would get over the way the joke
Always turned against me, in the end.”

“And such the trust that still were mine,
Though stormy winds swept o’er the brine,
Or though the tempest’s fiery breath
Roused me from sleep to wreck and death.
In ocean cave, still safe with Thee
The germ of immortality!
And calm and peaceful shall I sleep,
Rocked in the cradle of the deep.”
—Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
