Flower Wreath Hill

Famous quotes containing the words flower, wreath and/or hill:

    “Though like the wanderer,
    The sun gone down,
    Darkness be over me,
    My rest a stone;
    Yet in my dreams I’d be
    Nearer, my God, to Thee,”
    —Sarah Flower Adams (1805–48)

    “But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
    Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
    There’s a light and a shadow on every man
    Who at last attains his lifted mark—
    Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
    Elate he never can be;
    He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
    Sleep in oblivion.—The shark
    Glides white through the phosphorus sea.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Matthew 5:14.
