Delights

Famous quotes containing the word delights:

“But there is nothing which delights and terrifies our English Theatre so much as a Ghost, especially when he appears in a bloody Shirt. A Spectre has very often saved a Play, though he has done nothing but stalked across the Stage, or rose through a Cleft of it, and sunk again without speaking one Word.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

“Breathing with such suppression of the heart
As joy delights in; and, with wise restraint”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“Life is a series of surprises, and would not be worth taking or keeping, if it were not. God delights to isolate us every day, and hide from us the past and the future.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
