Deeds

Famous quotes containing the word deeds:

“Blessing turned to blasphemies,
Holy deeds to despites.

Sin is where our Lady sat,
Heaven turned is to hell,
Sathan sits where our Lord did sway,
Walsingham, Oh farewell!”
—Unknown. A Lament for the Priory of Walsingham (l. 39–44)

“The blood we give the dead to drink
is deeds we do at the will of the dead spirits in us,
not our own live will.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“My sweetest Lesbia let us live and love,
And though the sager sort our deeds reprove,
Let us not weigh them: Heav’n’s great lamps do dive
Into their west, and straight again revive,
But soon as once set is our little light,
Then must we sleep one ever-during night.”
—Catullus [Gaius Valerius Catullus] (84–54 B.C.)
