Famous quotes containing the words van and/or summons:
“I know that Europe’s wonderful, yet something seems to lack;
The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.”
—Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
“So live that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
