Mercer Began

Famous quotes containing the words mercer and/or began:

“When an irresistible force such as you meets an old immovable object like me.”

“When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
Such was their luster, they did so excel,
That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
Decking the sense as if it were to sell.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
