Gently

Famous quotes containing the word gently:

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

“I asked, “What happens, father, when you die?”

He told where all the running water goes,
And dressed me gently in my little clothes.”
—Robert Pack (b. 1929)
