Passing Level

Famous quotes containing the words passing and/or level:

    “When as a child I laughed and wept,
    Time crept.
    When as a youth I waxed more bold,
    Time strolled.
    When I became a full-grown man,
    Time RAN.
    When older still I daily grew,
    Time FLEW.
    Soon I shall find, in passing on,
    Time gone.
    O Christ! wilt Thou have saved me then?
    Amen.”
    —Henry Twells (1823–1900)

    “I love thee to the level of everyday’s
    Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
    I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
    I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
    I love thee with the passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
