Soul Began

Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or began:

    my soul lay out of sight,
    Untuned, unstrung;
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    I went back to my work, but now without enthusiasm. I had looked through an open door that I was not willing to see shut upon me. I began to reflect upon life rather seriously for a girl of twelve or thirteen. What was I here for? What could I make of myself? Must I submit to be carried along with the current, and do just what everybody else did?
    Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
