Sweep

Famous quotes containing the word sweep:

    Haste me to know it, that I with wings as swift
    As meditation, or the thoughts of love,
    May sweep to my revenge.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean,—roll!
    Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;
    Man marks the earth with ruin,—his control
    Stops with the shore;
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    I who take here
    my bread and life
    and sweep the temple,
    still I swear
    that I would save you,
    birds or spirits.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
