Sealed Portion

Famous quotes containing the words sealed and/or portion:

    Retreat was out of hope,—
    Behind, a sealed route,
    Eternity’s white flag before,
    And God at every gate.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    I was the rector’s son, born to the anglican order,
    Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;
    The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept
    With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
