Famous quotes containing the words ephemeral and/or streams:

    Reviews and magazines are at best ephemeral & superficial reading. Who thinks of the grand article of last year in any given review?
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    In this sad state, God Tender Bowells run
    Out streams of Grace: And he to end all strife
    The Purest Wheate in Heaven, his deare-dear Son
    Grinds, and kneads up into this Bread of Life.
    Which Bread of Life from Heaven down came and stands
    Disht on thy Table up by Angells Hands.
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
