Pure Land/%c5%9auddh%c4%81v%c4%81sa Worlds

Famous quotes containing the words pure, land and/or worlds:

    Came vested all in white, pure as her mind.
    Her face was veiled; yet to my fancied sight
    Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shined
    So clear as in no face with more delight.
    But, O! as to embrace me she inclined,
    I waked, she fled, and day brought back my night.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    There is a land of pure delight,
    Where saints immortal reign;
    Infinite day excludes the night,
    And pleasures banish pain.
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    fast, perfect, and unwilling
    to tell me that you are doing
    well, or that it was mistake
    that placed you in that world,
    and me in this; or that misfortune
    placed these worlds in us.
    James Tate (b. 1943)
