Famous quotes containing the words thou art, thou and/or art:
“Hail, hail, plump paunch, O the founder of taste
For fresh meats, or powdered, or pickle, or paste;
Devourer of broiled, baked, roasted or sod,
And emptier of cups, be they even or odd;
All which have now made thee so wide i the waist
As scarce with no pudding thou art to be laced;
But eating and drinking until thou dost nod,
Thou breakst all thy girdles, and breakst forth a god.”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)
“Farewel happy Fields
Where Joy for ever dwells: Hail horrours, hail
Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell
Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings
A mind not to be changd by Place or Time.
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heavn of Hell, a Hell of Heavn.”
—John Milton (16081674)
“What was any art but an effort to make a sheath, a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itselflife hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose?”
—Willa Cather (18731947)
