Pair Sit

Famous quotes containing the words pair and/or sit:

    Not the less does nature continue to fill the heart of youth with suggestions of his enthusiasm, and there are now men,—if indeed I can speak in the plural number,—more exactly, I will say, I have just been conversing with one man, to whom no weight of adverse experience will make it for a moment appear impossible, that thousands of human beings might exercise towards each other the grandest and simplest of sentiments, as well as a knot of friends, or a pair of lovers.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Come, little boy, and rock asleep;
    Sing lullaby and be thou still;
    I, that can do naught else but weep,
    Will sit by thee and wail my fill:
    God bless my babe, and lullaby
    From this thy father’s quality.
    Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)
