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)

    Only where love and need are one,
    And the work is play for mortal stakes,
    Is the deed every really done
    For Heaven and the future’s sakes.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
