Division Play

Famous quotes containing the words division and/or play:

    Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
    Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
    List to the heavy part the music bears,
    “Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
    Droop herbs and flowers;
    Fall grief in showers;
    “Our beauties are not ours”:
    Oh, I could still,
    Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
    Drop, drop, drop, drop,
    Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
    So I make an idle boast;
    Jesus of the twice-turned cheek
    Lamb of God, although I speak
    With my mouth thus, in my heart
    Do I play a double part.
    Countee Cullen (1903–1946)
