Ere

Famous quotes containing the word ere:

“You seem to me as Dian in her orb,
As chaste as is the bud ere it be blown;
But you are more intemperate in your blood
Than Venus, or those pampered animals
That rage in savage sensuality.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“We seem but to linger in manhood to tell the dreams of our childhood, and they vanish out of memory ere we learn the language.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Maid of Athens, ere we part,
Give, oh, give me back my heart!
Or, since that has left my breast,
Keep it now, and take the rest!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
