Gently

Famous quotes containing the word gently:

“The moon shines bright. In such a night as this,
When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees,
And they did make no noise, in such a night
Troilus methinks mounted the Troyan walls,
And sighed his soul toward the Grecian tents,
Where Cressid lay that night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“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)
