Sun Earth

Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or earth:

    “What’s this, Aurora Leigh,
    You write so of the poets and not laugh?
    Those virtuous liars, dreamers after dark,
    Exaggerators of the sun and moon,
    And soothsayers in a tea-cup? I write so
    Of the only truth-tellers, now left to God,—
    The only speakers of essential truth,
    Opposed to relative, comparative,
    And temporal truths;...
    The only teachers who instruct mankind,
    From just a shadow on a charnel-wall.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    ““Christ, the Lord is ris’n to Day,”
    Sons of Men and Angels say,
    Raise your Joys and Triumphs high,
    Sing ye Heav’ns, and Earth reply.”
    —Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
