Famous quotes containing the word heaven:
“In this sad state, God Tender Bowells run
Out streams of Grace: And he to end all strife
The Purest Wheate in Heaven, his deare-dear Son
Grinds, and kneads up into this Bread of Life.
Which Bread of Life from Heaven down came and stands
Disht on thy Table up by Angells Hands.”
—Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
“In this first heaven of knowing,
The flesh takes on the pure poise of the spirit,”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
