Smith Began

Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or began:

    If we shake hands with icy fingers, it is because we’ve burnt them so hatefully before.
    —Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

    When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
    Such was their luster, they did so excel,
    That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
    My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
    Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
    Decking the sense as if it were to sell.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
