Discord

Famous quotes containing the word discord:

“What, then, was war? No mere discord of flags
But an infection of the common sky
That sagged ominously upon the earth”

An age of discord and continual strife?
Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss,
And is a pattern of celestial peace.”

The majesty that shuts his burning eye:
The weak lay hand on what the strong has done,
Till that be tumbled that was lifted high
And discord follow upon unison....”
