Honored Lady

Famous quotes containing the words honored and/or lady:

    I see those two hearts, I’m afraid,
    Still. Cool here in the graveyard of good and evil,
    They are even so to be honored and obeyed.
    James Merrill (b. 1926)

    I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
    He turned up his eyes
    I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
    Holy & meek she cries—

    As soon as I went
    An angel came.
    He wink’d at the thief
    And smild at the dame—

    And without one word said
    Had a peach from the tree
    And still as a maid
    Enjoy’d the lady.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
