Tongues

Famous quotes containing the word tongues:

    “They gathered up the crystal manna to freeze
    Their tongues with tasting, their hands with snowballing;
    Or rioted in a drift, plunging up to the knees;”
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    “The air split into nine levels,
    Some gift of tongues of the whistler”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “They say the tongues of dying men
    Enforce attention like deep harmony.
    Where words are scarce, they are seldom spent in vain,
    For they breathe truth that breathe their words in pain.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
