Joy

Famous quotes containing the word joy:

I know not what fine wire is round my throat;
I only know I let him finger there
My pulse of life, and let him nose like a stoat
Who sniffs with joy before he drinks the blood.”

Go love without the help of any thing on earth.”

An everlasting wash of air—
Rome’s ghost since her
decease.”
