Heard Island

Famous quotes containing the words heard and/or island:

“I, who had heard of music in the spheres,
But not of speech in stars, began to muse:
But turning to my God, whose ministers
The stars and all things are; If I refuse,
Dread Lord, said I, so oft my good;
Then I refuse not ev’n with blood
To wash away my stubborn thought:
For I will do or suffer what I ought.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)

““Our island home
Is far beyond the wave;we will no longer roam.””
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
