Famous quotes containing the words open and/or source:

    Oh! joyous hearts! enfired with holy flame!
    Is speech thus tasseled with praise?
    Will not your inward fire of joy contain:
    That it in open flames doth blaze?
    For in Christ’s coach saints sweetly sing,
    As they to glory ride therein.
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

    The source of poetry that
    seeing the clock stopped, says,
    The clock has stopped

    that ticked yesterday so well?
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
