Father Deep

Famous quotes containing the words father and/or deep:

    Those who have never had a father can at any rate never know the sweets of losing one. To most men the death of his father is a new lease of life.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    Who knows whither the clouds have fled?
    In the unscarred heaven they leave no wake,
    And the eyes forget the tears they have shed,
    The heart forgets its sorrow and ache;
    The soul partakes the season’s youth,
    And the sulphurous rifts of passion and woe
    Lie deep ‘neath a silence pure and smooth,
    Like burnt-out craters healed with snow.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
