Famous quotes containing the words sacred, circle and/or art:

    “Such sacred Treasures are the Limbs of Boys
    In which a Soul doth dwell:”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    “It was my heaven’s extremest sphere,
    The pale which held that lovely deer;
    My joy, my grief, my hope, my love,
    Did all within this circle move!”
    —Edmund Waller (1606–1687)

    “When lovely woman stoops to folly,
    And finds too late that men betray,
    What charm can soothe her melancholy,
    What art can wash her guilt away?

    The only art her guilt to cover,
    To hide her shame from every eye,
    To give repentance to her lover,
    And wring his bosom—is to die.”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
