Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or melting:
“We were as twinned lambs that did frisk i the sun
And bleat the one at th other. What we changed
Was innocence for innocence; we knew not
The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dreamed
That any did. Had we pursued that life,
And our weak spirits neer been higher reared
With stronger blood, we should have answered heaven
Boldly Not guilty, the imposition cleared
Hereditary ours.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“O ruddier than the cherry,
O sweeter than the berry,
O Nymph more bright
Than moonshine night,
Like kidlings blithe and merry.
Ripe as the melting cluster,
No lily has such lustre,
Yet hard to tame,
As raging flame,
And fierce as storms that bluster.”
—John Gay (16851732)
