Keeping Peace

Famous quotes containing the words keeping and/or peace:

    “Time in his little cinema of the heart
    Giving a première to Hate and Pain;
    And Space urbanely keeping us apart.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “But he her fears to cease
    Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
    She, crowned with olive green, came softly sliding
    Down through the turning sphere,
    His ready harbinger,
    With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing,
    And waving wide her myrtle wand,
    She strikes a universal peace through sea and land.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
