Joyous

Famous quotes containing the word joyous:

“In spite of all the learned have said,
I still my old opinion keep;
The posture, that we give the dead,
Points out the soul’s eternal sleep.
Not so the ancients of these lands—
The Indian, when from life released,
Again is seated with his friends,
And shares again the joyous feast.”
—Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

“Come, blessed barrier between day and day,
Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“So forth those joyous Birdes did passe along,
Adowne the Lee, that to them murmurde low,
As he would speake, but that he lackt a tong,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
