Companions Pure

Famous quotes containing the words companions and/or pure:

    The poet is no tender slip of fairy stock, who requires peculiar institutions and edicts for his defense, but the toughest son of earth and of Heaven, and by his greater strength and endurance his fainting companions will recognize the God in him. It is the worshipers of beauty, after all, who have done the real pioneer work of the world.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I’m telling the truth.
    I’m standing at death’s door
    and even today
    my sight falls
    on that thicket
    on the Tpt’s pure banks,
    just as before.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
