Taylor

Famous quotes containing the word taylor:

    “Oh, what a might is this whose single frown
    Doth shake the world as it would shake it down?
    Which all from nothing fet, from nothing all;
    Hath all on nothing set, lets nothing fall.
    Gave all to nothing man indeed, whereby
    Through nothing man all might Him glorify.”
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

    “I counted two and seventy stenches,
    All well defined and several stinks!
    Ye Nymphs that reign o’er sewers and sinks,
    The river Rhine, it is well known,
    Doth wash your city of Cologne;
    But tell me, Nymphs! what power divine
    Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine?”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “The genius of the Spanish people is exquisitely subtle, without being at all acute; hence there is so much humour and so little wit in their literature.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
