Famous quotes containing the words edward taylor and/or taylor:

    As if her velvet helmet high
    Did turret rationality.
    She fans her wing up to the winde
    As if her Pettycoate were lin’de
    With reasons fleece, and hoises saile
    And humming flies in thankfull gaile
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

    Once at thy Feast, I saw thee Pearle-like stand
    ‘Tween Heaven and Earth, where Heavens Bright glory all
    In streams fell on thee, as a floodgate and
    Like Sun Beams through thee on the World to Fall.
    Oh! Sugar sweet then! My Deare sweet Lord, I see
    Saints Heaven-lost Happiness restor’d by thee.
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
