Heavens

Famous quotes containing the word heavens:

“This is my playes last scene, here heavens appoint
My pilgrimages last mile; and my race
Idly, yet quickly runne, hath this last pace,
My spans last inch, my minutes last point,
And gluttonous death, will instantly unjoynt
My body, and soule, and I shall sleepe a space,”
—John Donne (1572–1631)

Observe degree, priority, and place,
Insisture, course, proportion, season, form,
Office, and custom, in all line of order.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
