Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or rose:
“Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God!
He, whose word cannot be broken, Formd for thee his own abode:

With salvations walls surrounded Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.”
—John Newton (17251807)
“All things uncomely and broken, all things worn out and old,
The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart,
The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the wintry mould,
Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
