Famous quotes containing the words erect and/or ears:

    “Go through the gates with closed eyes.
    Stand erect and let your black face front the west.”

    “I press not to the quire, nor dare I greet
    The holy place with my unhallowed feet;
    My unwashed Muse pollutes not things divine,
    Nor mingles her profaner notes with thine;
    Here humbly at the porch she listening stays,
    And with glad ears sucks in thy sacred lays.”
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
