Met

Famous quotes containing the word met:

    A successful woman preacher was once asked “what special obstacles have you met as a woman in the ministry?” “Not one,” she answered, “except the lack of a minister’s wife.”
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    Why, he was met even now
    As mad as the vexed sea, singing aloud,
    Crowned with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds,
    With hardocks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers,
    Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow
    In our sustaining corn.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    No, I have never found
    The place where I could say
    This is my proper ground,
    Here I shall stay;
    Nor met that special one
    Who has an instant claim
    On everything I own
    Down to my name....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
