Glorious Burden

Famous quotes containing the words glorious and/or burden:

    Most glorious Lord of life! that, on this day,
    Didst make thy triumph over death and sin;
    And, having harrowed hell, didst bring away
    Captivity thence captive, us to win:
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground, The emptiness of ages in his face, And on his back the burden of the world.
    Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
