Famous quotes containing the word worlds:
“Between two worlds life hovers like a star,
Twixt night and morn, upon the horizons verge.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each others eyes for an instant? We should live in all the ages of the world in an hour; ay, in all the worlds of the ages. History, Poetry, Mythology!I know of no reading of anothers experience so startling and informing as this would be.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Meanwhile the mind from pleasure less
Withdraws into its happiness;
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds and other seas,
Annihilating all thats made
To a green thought in a green shade,”
—Andrew Marvell (16211678)
