Thou Wilt

Famous quotes containing the words thou wilt, thou and/or wilt:

    open thou thy manly mouth, and say that thou wilt come;
    Whereby my heart may think, although I see not thee,
    That thou wilt come, thy word so sware, if thou a livesman be.
    —Unknown. The Lady Prayeth the Return of Her Lover Abiding on the Seas (l. 4–6)

    May! Be thou never graced with birds that sing,
    Nor Flora’s pride!
    In thee all flowers and roses spring,
    Mine only died.
    William Browne (1591–1643)

    An innocent man is a sin before God. Inhuman and therefore untrustworthy. No man should live without absorbing the sins of his kind, the foul air of his innocence, even if it did wilt rows of angel trumpets and cause them to fall from their vines.
    Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
