Greater Mysteries

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or mysteries:

“Even like two little bank-dividing brooks,
That wash the pebbles with their wanton streams,
And having ranged and searched a thousand nooks,
Meet both at length in silver-breasted Thames
Where in a greater current they conjoin:
So I my Best-Beloved’s am, so he is mine.”
—Francis Quarles (1592–1644)

“Is it not strange, that an infant should be heir of the whole world, and see those mysteries which the books of the learned never unfold?”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
