Dir Clear Mark

Famous quotes containing the words clear and/or mark:

    He, who, in view of its inconsistencies, says of human nature the same that, in view of its contrasts, is said of the divine nature, that it is past finding out, thereby evinces a better appreciation of it than he who, by always representing it in a clear light, leaves it to be inferred that he clearly knows all about it.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Awake,
    My fairest, my espoused, my latest found,
    Heaven’s last best gift, my ever new delight,
    Awake, the morning shines, and the fresh field
    Calls us: we lose the prime, to mark how spring
    Our tended plants, how blows the citron grove,
    What drops the myrrh and what the balmy reed,
    How nature paints her colors, how the bee
    Sits on the bloom extracting liquid sweet.”
    John Milton (1608–1674)
