Famous quotes containing the word soule:

    We thinke that Paradise and Calvarie,
    Christs Crosse, and Adams tree, stood in one place;
    Looke, Lord, and finde both Adams met in me;
    As the first Adams sweat surrounds my face,
    May the last Adams blood my soule embrace.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    My soule her wings doth spread
    And heaven-ward flies,
    Th’ Almighty’s Mysteries to read
    In the large volumes of the skies.
    William Habington (1605–1654)

    And here the precious dust is layd;
    Whose purely temper’d Clay was made
    So fine, that it the guest betray’d.

    Else the soule grew so fast within,
    It broke the outward shell of sinne,
    And so was hatch’d a Cherubin.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
