Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or shadow:
“We devastate them unreligiously,
And coldly ask their pottage, not their love.
Therefore they shove us from them, yield to us
Only what to our griping toil is due;
But the sweet affluence of love and song,
The rich results of the divine consents
Of man and earth, of world beloved and lover;
The nectar and ambrosia, are withheld.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“before its great shadow joined
the walls and roof and seemed
to uphold the hall like a beam.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
