Garden of The Gods

Famous quotes containing the words garden of, garden and/or gods:

    I went to the Garden of Love,
    And saw what I never had seen:
    A Chapel was built in the midst,
    Where I used to play on the green.
    And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
    And ‘Thou shalt not’ writ over the door;
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    My garden is run wild!
    Where shall I plant anew—
    For my bed, that once was covered with thyme,
    Is all overrun with rue?
    Mrs. Fleetwood Habergham (d. 1703)

    Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say “no.” I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.
    Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
