Famous quotes containing the word heavens:
“Under the heavens that know not what years be
The men, the beasts, the trees, the implements
Uttered even what they will in times far hence—
All of us gone out of the reach of change—
Immortal in a picture of an old grange.”
—Edward Thomas (1878–1917)
“The heavens hold firm
The walls of thy dear honor; keep unshaked
That temple, thy fair mind, that thou mayst stand
T’ enjoy thy banished lord and this great land!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When I reflect to what a cause this man devoted himself, and how religiously, and then reflect to what cause his judges and all who condemn him so angrily and fluently devote themselves, I see that they are as far apart as the heavens and the earth are asunder.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
