Guest

Famous quotes containing the word guest:

    “And here the precious dust is layd;
    Whose purely temper’d Clay was made
    So fine, that it the guest betray’d.

    Else the soule grew so fast within,
    It broke the outward shell of sinne,
    And so was hatch’d a Cherubin.”
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

    “Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
    That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.”
    —Edgar Albert Guest (1881–1959)

    “But must I confess how I liked him,
    How glad I was he had come like a guest in quiet, to drink at my
    water-trough
    And depart peaceful, pacified, and thankless,
    Into the burning bowels of this earth?”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
