Crashaw

Famous quotes containing the word crashaw:

    Go, smiling souls, your new-built cages break,
    In heaven you’ll learn to sing, ere here to speak,
    Nor let the milky fonts that bathe your thirst
    Be your delay;
    The place that calls you hence is, at the worst,
    Milk all the way.
    —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)
