Taylor

Famous quotes containing the word taylor:

    It was palpable, all that wanting: Mother wanting something more, Dad wanting something more, everyone wanting something more.

    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)

    —Bert Leston Taylor (1866–1921)
