Order Odes

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or odes:

    As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    There, full in notes, to ravish all
    My Earth, I wonder what to call
    My dullness; when
    I heare thee, prettie Creature, bring
    Thy better odes of Praise, and Sing,
    To puzzle men:
    Poore pious Elfe!
    I am instructed by thy harmonie,
    To sing the Time’s uncertaintie,
    Safe in my Selfe.
    George Daniel (1616–1657)
