Famous quotes containing the word gorgeous:
“Thy early smile has stayed my walk;
But midst the gorgeous blooms of May,
I passed thee on thy humble stalk.”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
“Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
—Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)
“Even in a reeling world
as great as this,
teeming with thousands
of gorgeous women,
nothing at all resembles
her right half
save for her left.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
