Famous quotes containing the word eternal:
“All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitoryof the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.”
—Charles Baudelaire (18211867)
“Were I laid on Greenlands Coast,
And in my Arms embracd my Lass;
Warm amidst eternal Frost,
Too soon the Half Years Night would pass.”
—John Gay (16851732)
“This is the month, and this the happy morn,
Wherein the Son of heavns eternal King,
Of wedded Maid and Virgin Mother born,
Our great redemption from above did bring.”
—John Milton (16081674)
