If I Forget Thee

Famous quotes containing the words forget thee, forget and/or thee:

    Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind—
    But how could I forget thee?
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Has the art of politics no apparent utility? Does it appear to be unqualifiedly ratty, raffish, sordid, obscene, and low down, and its salient virtuosi a gang of unmitigated scoundrels? Then let us not forget its high capacity to soothe and tickle the midriff, its incomparable services as a maker of entertainment.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Hail holy Light, of spring of Heav’n first-born,
    Or of th’ Eternal Coeternal beam
    May I express thee unblam’d? since God is Light,
    And never but in unapproached Light
    Dwelt from Eternitie, dwelt then in thee,
    Bright effluence of bright essence in create.
    Or hear’st thou rather pure Ethereal stream,
    Whose Fountain who shall tell?
    John Milton (1608–1674)
