Delectable Mountains Shepherds

Famous quotes containing the words delectable, mountains and/or shepherds:

    A good sherris-sack hath a twofold operation in it. It
    ascends me into the brain,... makes it apprehensive, quick,
    forgetive, full of nimble, fiery, and delectable shapes.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Thou didst create the night, but I made the lamp.
    Thou didst create clay, but I made the cup.
    Thou didst create the deserts, mountains and forests,
    I produced the orchards, gardens and groves.
    It is I who made the glass out of stone,
    And it is I who turn a poison into an antidote.
    Muhammad, Sir Iqbal (1873–1938)

    Come live with me and be my Love,
    And we will all the pleasures prove
    That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
    Or woods or steepy mountain yields.

    And we will sit upon the rocks,
    And see the shepherds feed their flocks
    By shallow rivers, to whose falls
    Melodious birds sing madrigals.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
