Single

Famous quotes containing the word single:

    “You have beheld a smiling Rose
    When Virgins hands have drawn
    O’r it a Cobweb-Lawne:
    And here, you see, this Lilly shows,
    Tomb’d in a Christal stone,
    More faire in this transparent case,
    Than when it grew alone;
    And had but single grace.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “And a single small cottage, a nest like a dove’s,
    The one only dwelling on earth that she loves.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “Ever fresh the broad creation,
    A divine improvisation,
    From the heart of God proceeds,
    A single will, a million deeds.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
