Stone Cross

Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or cross:

“Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
The first cat that was ever killed by Care.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
