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)
