Famous quotes containing the words wilbur and/or cross:
“I started in to cry and call his name,
Asking forgiveness of his tongueless head.
. . . I dreamt the past was never past redeeming:
But whether this was false or honest dreaming
I beg death’s pardon now. And mourn the dead.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

They hung the thief upon the cross:
But now, alas!—I say’t with grief—
They hang the cross upon the thief.”
