Rises

Famous quotes containing the word rises:

“There is no odor so bad as that which rises from goodness tainted. It is human, it is divine carrion.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Now night perfumes lie upon the air,
As rests the blossom on the loaded bough;
And each deep-drawn breath is redolent
Of all the folded flowers’ mingled scent
That rises in confused rapture now.”

“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:”
