Rise

Famous quotes containing the word rise:

“Let him go forth radiant,
let life rise in his young breast,

life is made for beautiful love
and strange ecstasy,
strait, searing body and limbs.”

“So in majestic cadence rise and fall
The mighty undulations of thy song,
O sightless bard, England’s Monides!
And ever and anon, high over all
Uplifted, a ninth wave superb and strong,
Floods all the soul with its melodious seas.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
