Famous quotes containing the words gave and/or birth:
“Een then would be some stooping; and I choose
Never to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt,
Wheneer I passed her; but who passed without
Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands
As if alive.”
—Robert Browning (18121889)
“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our lifes Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
