Cullen

Famous quotes containing the word cullen:

    Thus change the forms of being. Thus arise
    Races of living things, glorious in strength,
    And perish, as the quickening breath of God
    Fills them, or is withdrawn.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    Death cut the strings that gave me life,
    And handed me to Sorrow,
    The only kind of middle wife
    My folks could beg or borrow.
    —Countee Cullen (1903–1946)

    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)
