Thy Desire

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or desire:

    So in majestic cadence rise and fall
    The mighty undulations of thy song,
    O sightless bard, England’s Monides!
    And ever and anon, high over all
    Uplifted, a ninth wave superb and strong,
    Floods all the soul with its melodious seas.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    You will not see
    that desire begets
    love,
    until it all flames
    into one concise
    and metallic blaze.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
