Living Soul

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or soul:

    “Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?”
    —William Morris (1834–1896)

    “But no. Too soon I voun’ my charm abroke.
    Noo comely soul in white like her—
    Noo soul a-steppen light like her—
    An’ nwone o’ comely height like her—
    Went by; but all my grief agean awoke.”
    —William Barnes (1801–1886)
