Famous quotes containing the word heaven:
“When heaven and earth were in confusion hurl’d
For the debated empire of the world,
Which awed with dreadful expectation lay,
Soon to be slaves, uncertain who should sway:”
—Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus)
“In this first heaven of knowing,
The flesh takes on the pure poise of the spirit,”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
