Famous quotes containing the word pause:

    O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven;
    It hath the primal eldest curse upon ‘t,
    A brother’s murder. Pray can I not,
    Though inclination be as sharp as will;
    My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent,
    And like a man to double business bound
    I stand in pause where I shall first begin,
    And both neglect. What if this cursed hand
    Were thicker than itself with brother’s blood,
    Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens
    To wash it white as snow?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Hours before dawn we were woken by the quake.
    My house was on a cliff. The thing could take
    Bookloads off shelves, break bottles in a row.
    Then the long pause and then the bigger shake.
    It seemed the best thing to be up and go.
    William Empson (1906–1984)

    Here I pause in my sojourning, giving thanks for having come,
    come to trust, at every turning, God will guide me safely home.
    Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God,
    Came to rescue me from danger, precious presence, precious blood.
    Robert Robinson (1735–1790)
