Raised

Famous quotes containing the word raised:

“Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
—Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)

“But dread
was in her, a bloodbeat, it was against the rolling dark
oncoming river she raised bulwarks....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“Still they raised a family doin’ what comes natur’lly.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
