Famous quotes containing the words song and/or contests:
“But see, the Virgin blest
Hath laid her Babe to rest:
Time is our tedious song should here have ending;
Heaven’s youngest teemed star,
Hath fixed her polished car,
Her sleeping Lord with handmaid lamp attending;
And all about the courtly stable,
Bright-harnessed angels sit in order serviceable.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“I love to deal with doctrines and events. The contests of men about men I greatly dislike.”
—James A. Garfield (1831–1881)
