Famous quotes containing the word heavens:
“When the ice is covered with snow, I do not suspect the wealth under my feet; that there is as good as a mine under me wherever I go. How many pickerel are poised on easy fin fathoms below the loaded wain! The revolution of the seasons must be a curious phenomenon to them. At length the sun and wind brush aside their curtain, and they see the heavens again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“DORIS: Heres the two of spades.
DUSTY: The two of spades!
THATS THE COFFIN!!
DORIS: THATS THE COFFIN?
Oh good heavens whatll I do?
Just before a party too!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“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 (18781917)
