Parting

Famous quotes containing the word parting:

    “Is all the counsel that we two have shared,
    The sisters’ vows, the hours that we have spent
    When we have chid the hasty-footed time
    For parting us—O, is all forgot?
    All schooldays’ friendship, childhood innocence?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Stealing grace from all alive;

    When half-gods go,
    The gods arrive.”

    And kissed her lips with such a clamorous smack
    That at the parting all the church did echo.”
