Joyous

Famous quotes containing the word joyous:

“Oh! joyous hearts! enfired with holy flame!
Is speech thus tasseled with praise?
Will not your inward fire of joy contain:
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)

Long fallen wide.”

If you listen to popular rumour;
From morning to night he’s so joyous and bright,
And he bubbles with wit and good humour!”
