Hour Lines

Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or lines:

“The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways—I to die and you to live. Which is the better, only God knows.”

“When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
Such was their luster, they did so excel,
That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
Decking the sense as if it were to sell.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
