Cullen

Famous quotes containing the word cullen:

    Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again;
    Th’ eternal years of God are hers;
    But Error, wounded, writhes in pain,
    And dies among his worshippers.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    When beechen buds begin to swell,
    And woods the blue-bird’s warble know,
    The yellow violet’s modest bell
    Peeps from the last year’s leaves below.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    The night whose sable breast relieves the stark,
    White stars, is no less lovely being dark,
    —Countee Cullen (1903–1946)
