Rifts Earth

Famous quotes containing the words rifts and/or earth:

    “Who knows whither the clouds have fled?
    In the unscarred heaven they leave no wake,
    And the eyes forget the tears they have shed,
    The heart forgets its sorrow and ache;
    The soul partakes the season’s youth,
    And the sulphurous rifts of passion and woe
    Lie deep ‘neath a silence pure and smooth,
    Like burnt-out craters healed with snow.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    “Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
