Lift

Famous quotes containing the word lift:

“For every man that Bolingbroke hath pressed
To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,
God for his Richard hath in heavenly pay
A glorious angel. Then if angels fight,
Weak men must fall; for heaven still guards the right.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Oh! lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!
I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!”

“You had gained,
you outleapt them;
a sudden, swift lift of the reins,
a sudden, swift, taut grip of the reins,
as suddenly loosed,
you had gained.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
