Divine Body

Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or body:

    We devastate them unreligiously,
    And coldly ask their pottage, not their love.
    Therefore they shove us from them, yield to us
    Only what to our griping toil is due;
    But the sweet affluence of love and song,
    The rich results of the divine consents
    Of man and earth, of world beloved and lover;
    The nectar and ambrosia, are withheld.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The food of thy soul is light and space; feed it then on light and space. But the food of thy body is champagne and oysters; feed it then on champagne and oysters; and so shall it merit a joyful resurrection, if there is any to be.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
