God Spake

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or spake:

“that Sunday in July
when we were young and did not look
into the abyss,
that God spot.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“So spake our Father penitent; nor Eve
Felt less remorse. They, forthwith to the place
Repairing where he judged them, prostrate fell
Before him reverent, and both confessed
Humbly their faults, and pardon begged, with tears
Watering the ground, and with their sighs the air
Frequenting, sent from hearts contrite, in sign
Of sorrow unfeigned and humiliation meek.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
