Rare Book

Famous quotes containing the words rare and/or book:

    And what is so rare as a day in June?
    Then, if ever, come perfect days;
    Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
    And over it softly her warm ear lays:
    Whether we look, or whether we listen,
    We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalms 90:10.

    The Book of Common Prayer (1662)
