Crashaw

Famous quotes containing the word crashaw:

    What heaven-entreated heart is this
    Stands trembling at the gate of bliss;
    Holds fast the door, yet dares not venture
    Fairly to open it and enter?
    Whose definition is a doubt
    ‘Twixt life and death, ‘twixt in and out?
    —Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    And now where e’re he strayes
    Among the Galilaean mountains,
    Or more unwelcome wayes,
    Hee’s follow’d by two faithfull fountaines,
    Two walking Baths, two weeping motions;
    Portable and compendious Oceans.
    —Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    To these, whom Death again did wed,
    This grave’s the second Marriage-bed.
    —Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
