Famous quotes containing the words lesser and/or blessings:
“I
Am here a Poet, that doth drink of life
As lesser men drink wine.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“I regard a love for poetry as one of the most needful and helpful elements in the life- outfit of a human being. It was the greatest of blessings to me, in the long days of toil to which I was shut in much earlier than most young girls are, that the poetry I held in my memory breathed its enchanted atmosphere through me and around me, and touched even dull drudgery with its sunshine.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
