Famous quotes containing the words clouds and/or rest:

    “But he her fears to cease
    Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
    She, crowned with olive green, came softly sliding
    Down through the turning sphere,
    His ready harbinger,
    With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing,
    And waving wide her myrtle wand,
    She strikes a universal peace through sea and land.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Those that have had great passions esteem themselves for the rest of their lives fortunate—and unfortunate—in being cured of them.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
