Soft Ground

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or ground:

“But Thou that know’st Love above Intrest or lust
Strew the Myrtle and Rose on this once belov’d Dust
And shed one pious tear upon Jinny the Just
Tread soft on her Grave, and do right to her honor
Let neither rude hand no ill Tongue light upon her
Do all the smal Favors that now can be done her”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)

“The future is just as much a condition of the present as is the past. “What shall be and must be is the ground of that which is.””
