Spirits Possess

Famous quotes containing the words spirits and/or possess:

    No, no; but as in my idolatry
    I said to all my profane mistresses,
    Beauty, of pity, foulness only is
    A sign of rigour: so I say to thee,
    To wicked spirits are horrid shapes assign’d,
    This beauteous form assures a piteous mind.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    For that fine madness still he did retain
    Which rightly should possess a poet’s brain.
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
