Trusted World

Famous quotes containing the words trusted and/or world:

    “Man, her last work, who seemed so fair,
    Such splendid purpose in his eyes,
    Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies,
    Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer,

    Who trusted God was love indeed
    And love Creation’s final law—
    Though Nature, red in tooth and claw
    With ravine, shrieked against his creed—”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “To behold the day-break!
    The little light fades the immense and diaphanous shadows,
    The air tastes good to my palate.

    Hefts of the moving world at innocent gambols silently rising,
    freshly exuding,
    Scooting obliquely high and low.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
