Final Long Vowels

Famous quotes containing the words final, long and/or vowels:

    “To make a final conquest of all me,
    Love did compose so sweet an enemy,
    In whom both beauties to my death agree,
    Joining themselves in fatal harmony;
    That while she with her eyes my heart does bind,
    She with her voice might captivate my mind.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “So long as I have been here I have not willingly planted a thorn in any man’s bosom.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “As no one can tell what was the Roman pronunciation, each nation makes the Latin conform, for the most part, to the rules of its own language; so that with us of the vowels only A has a peculiar sound.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
