God Save

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or save:

    “There yet remains but one concluding tale,
    And then this chronicle of mine is ended—
    Fulfilled, the duty God ordained to me,
    A sinner. Not without purpose did the Lord
    Put me to witness much for many years
    And educate me in the love of books.
    One day some indefatigable monk
    Will find my conscientious, unsigned work;
    Like me, he will light up his ikon-lamp
    And, shaking from the scroll the age-old dust,
    He will transcribe these tales in all their truth.”
    —Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837)

    “all to no end save beauty
    the eternal—

    So in detail they, the crowd,
    are beautiful”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
