Heavens

Famous quotes containing the word heavens:

“Two forms move among the dead, high sleep
Who by his highness quiets them, high peace
Upon whose shoulders even the heavens rest,
Two brothers. And a third form, she that says
Good-by in the darkness, speaking quietly there,
To those that cannot say good-by themselves.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“The Beggar’s Rags, fluttering in Air,
Does to Rags the Heavens tear.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre
Observe degree, priority, and place.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
