Common Side

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or side:

“For the discerning intellect of Man,
When wedded to this goodly universe
In love and holy passion, shall find these
A simple produce of the common day.
MI, long before the blissful hour arrives,
Would chant, in lonely peace, the spousal verse
Of this great consummation—”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“Let him
Who was love’s teacher teach you too love’s cure;
Let the same hand that wounded bring the balm.
Healing and poisonous herbs the same soil bears,
And rose and nettle oft grow side by side.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
