Lord Cowper

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or cowper:

    Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    A fretful temper will divide
    The closest knot that may be tied,
    By ceaseless sharp corrosion;
    A temper passionate and fierce
    May suddenly your joys disperse
    At one immense explosion.
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
