Famous quotes containing the word bowls:
“O thou undaunted daughter of desires!
By all thy dower of lights and fires;
By all the eagle in thee, all the dove;
By all thy lives and deaths of love;
By thy large draughts of intellectual day,
And by thy thirsts of love more large then they;
By all thy brim-fill’d Bowls of fierce desire,
By thy last Morning’s draught of liquid fire;
By the full kingdom of that final kiss
That seiz’d thy parting Soul, and seal’d thee his;”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
“One bowl is quiet; two bowls will clang together.”
—Chinese proverb.
“So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped up in their cloaks on their shoulders.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 12:34.
