Set

Famous quotes containing the word set:

That dying chose the living world for text
And never could have rested in the tomb
But that, long travelling, he had come
Towards nightfall upon certain set apart
In a most desolate stony place....”

And after in life’s vase
Of glass set while I might survive,
But by a kind hand brought
Alive
To a strange place.”
