Kersey

Famous quotes containing the word kersey:

    With not one kiss, or a good-bye,
    And the only loveless look the look with which you passed:
    ‘Twas all unlike your great and gracious ways.
    —Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)

    Here, in this little Bay,
    Full of tumultuous life and great repose,
    Where, twice a day,
    The purposeless, glad ocean comes and goes,
    —Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)

    The world, unfathomably fair,
    Is duller than a witling’s jest.
    Love wakes men, once a lifetime each;
    They lift their heavy lids, and look;
    And, lo, what one sweet page can teach,
    They read with joy, then shut the book.
    —Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)
