Famous quotes containing the word bid:
“Love, my fate got luckily,
Teaches with no telling
That the phoenix’ bid for heaven and the desire after
Death in the carved nunnery
Both shall fail if I bow not to your blessing....”

“Often he bid me come and have a look
Up the brass barrel, velvet black inside,
At a star quaking in the other end.”

“Or bid the soul of Orpheus sing
Such notes as, warbled to the string,
Drew iron tears down Pluto’s cheek,
And made Hell grant what love did seek;”
