Hebrew Poets

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or poets:

    They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
    —Bible: Hebrew Jeremiah 5:8.

    God, who gave to him the lyre,
    Of all mortals the desire,
    For all breathing men’s behoof,
    Straitly charged him, “Sit aloof;”
    Annexed a warning, poets say,
    To the bright premium,—
    Ever, when twain together play,
    Shall the harp be dumb.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
