Sacred Swan

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or swan:

    Every Morne from hence,
    A brisk Cherub something sips,
    Whose sacred influence
    Adds sweetnes to his sweetest lips,
    Then to his Musick, and his song
    Tastes of his breakefast all day long.
    Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    I have seen this swan and
    I have seen you; I have seen ambition without
    understanding in a variety of forms.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
