Eternal

Famous quotes containing the word eternal:

“Repose you here in rest,
Secure from worldly chances and mishaps.
Here lurks no treason, here no envy swells,
Here grow no damned drugs, here are no storms,
No noise, but silence and eternal sleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“I loved, but woman fell away;
I hid me from her faded fame.
I snatched the sun’s eternal ray
And wrote till earth was but a name.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)

“None can re-enter there—
No thief so politic,
No Satan with a royal trick
Steal in by window, chink, or hole,
To bind or unbind, add what lacked,
Insert a leaf, or forge a name,
New-face or finish what is packed,
Alter or mend eternal fact.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
