Herbert Joseph Thompson

Famous quotes containing the words herbert and/or thompson:

    The harbingers are come. See, see their mark:
    White is their color, and behold my head.
    But must they have my brain? Must they dispark
    Those sparkling notions, which therein were bred?
    Must dullness turn me to a clod?
    Yet have they left me, Thou art still my God.
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Little Jesus, wast Thou shy
    Once, and just so small as I?
    And what did it feel like to be
    Out of Heaven, and just like me?
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
