Famous quotes containing the words long and/or vowels:
“A pilgrim I on earth perplext,
with sinns, with cares and sorrows vext,
By age and paines brought to decay,
and my Clay house mouldring away,
Oh how I long to be at rest
and soare on high among the blest!”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
“These equal syllables alone require,
Though oft the ear the open vowels tire;”
