Beheld

Famous quotes containing the word beheld:

“Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still as the spiral grew,
He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

“There might you have beheld one joy crown another, so and in such manner that it seemed sorrow wept to take leave of them, for their joy waded in tears.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Of all the men alive
I never yet beheld that special face
Which I could fancy more than any other.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
