Famous quotes containing the words daniel and/or adams:

    “If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
    Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart;
    My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
    Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart.
    If this be love, to live a living death,
    Then do I love and draw this weary breath.”
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    “We thinke that Paradise and Calvarie,
    Christs Crosse, and Adams tree, stood in one place;
    Looke, Lord, and finde both Adams met in me;
    As the first Adams sweat surrounds my face,
    May the last Adams blood my soule embrace.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)
