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)

“To say that God has given a man many and great talents frequently means that he has brought his heavens down within reach of his hands.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I never saw
The heavens so dim by day. A savage clamor!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
