God Save

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or save:

“What was he doing, the great god Pan,
Down in the reeds by the river?
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
Splashing and paddling with hoofs of a goat,
And breaking the golden lilies afloat
With the dragon-fly on the river.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“Whate’er she meant by it, bury it with me,
For since I am
Love’s martyr, it might breed idolatry,
If into others’ hands these Reliques came;
As ‘twas humility
To afford to it all that a Soul can do,
So, ‘tis some bravery,
That since you would save none of me, I bury some of you.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
