Famous quotes containing the word verses:
“Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.”
—Bible: Hebrew Isaiah, 22:13.
Almost the same words are found in 1 Corinthians 15:32, and both verses are frequently confused with Ecclesiastes 8:15: A man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry.
“To declaim freedom verses seems like a poem within a poem; freedom requires guns, it requires arms, but no feet.”
—Franz Grillparzer (17911872)
“All ye poets of the age,
All ye witlings of the stage,
Learn your jingles to reform,
Crop your numbers to conform.
Let your little verses flow
Gently, sweetly, row by row;
Let the verse the subject fit,
Little subject, little wit.
Namby-Pamby is your guide,
Albions joy, Hibernias pride.”
—Henry Carey (1693?1743)
