Famous quotes containing the words verse and/or press:
“Verse calls them forth; ‘tis verse that gives
Immortal youth to mortal maids.”
—Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
“I press not to the quire, nor dare I greet
The holy place with my unhallowed feet;
My unwashed Muse pollutes not things divine,
Nor mingles her profaner notes with thine;
Here humbly at the porch she listening stays,
And with glad ears sucks in thy sacred lays.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
