Famous quotes containing the words within the and/or sun:
“I have seen
not behind but within, within the
dull grief, blown grit, hideous
concrete façades, another grief, a gleam
as of dew, an abode of mercy....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“No peevish winter wind shall chill
No sullen tropic sun shall wither
The roses in the rose-garden which is ours and ours only”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
