Famous quotes containing the word bliss:

    They flash upon that inward eye
    Which is the bliss of solitude;
    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    These two
    Imparadised in one another’s arms,
    The happier Eden, shall enjoy their fill
    Of bliss on bliss.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
