Joyous

Famous quotes containing the word joyous:

“Oh! joyous hearts! enfired with holy flame!
Is speech thus tasseled with praise?

That it in open flames doth blaze?
For in Christ’s coach saints sweetly sing,
As they to glory ride therein.”
—Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!”
