Taylor

Famous quotes containing the word taylor:

    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)

    Where the Moosatockmaguntic
    Pours its waters in the Skuntic,
    Met, along the forest side
    Hiram Hover, Huldah Hyde.
    She, a maiden fair and dapper,
    He, a red-haired, stalwart trapper,
    Hunting beaver, mink, and skunk
    In the woodlands of Squeedunk.
    —Bayard Taylor (1825–1878)

    Once at thy Feast, I saw thee Pearle-like stand
    ‘Tween Heaven and Earth, where Heavens Bright glory all
    In streams fell on thee, as a floodgate and
    Like Sun Beams through thee on the World to Fall.
    Oh! Sugar sweet then! My Deare sweet Lord, I see
    Saints Heaven-lost Happiness restor’d by thee.
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
