Famous quotes containing the word gently:

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 (18091845)

to Bethlehem on Christmas Morn,
Who will kneel them gently down
before the Lord, new-born?”

Still gentler sister Woman;
Though they may gang a kennin wrang,
To step aside is human:”
