Famous quotes containing the word verse:
“Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beautys brow,
Feeds on the rarities of natures truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.”

Recalling the Book of Enoch, in which fallen angels were condemned to be stars.
“Where we such clusters had,
As made us nobly wild, not mad;
And yet each verse of thine
Outdid the meat, outdid the frolic wine.”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)
