Pleasant Journey

Famous quotes containing the words pleasant and/or journey:

“If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love’s sake only. Do not say
“I love her for her smile—her look—her way
Of speaking gently,—for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day”—”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“My Mother! when I learnt that thou wast dead,
Say, wast thou conscious of the tears I shed?
Hovered thy spirit o’er thy sorrowing son,
Wretch even then, life’s journey just begun?”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
