Famous quotes containing the words stephens and/or sought:

“straightway like a bell
Came low and clear
The slow, sad murmur of the distant seas,”
—James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

“What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine?
The wealthy of seas, the spoils of war?—
They sought a faith’s pure shrine!

Ay, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod;
They have left unstained what there they found,—
Freedom to worship God.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
