Thy Skies

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or skies:

    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)

    The shallowest still water is unfathomable. Wherever the trees and skies are reflected, there is more than Atlantic depth, and no danger of fancy running aground.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
