St Johns Gate

Famous quotes containing the words johns and/or gate:

    In love’s deep womb our fears are held;
    there God’s rich tears are sown
    and bring to birth, in hope new-born,
    the strength to journey on.
    —Rob Johns (20th century)

    What heaven-entreated heart is this
    Stands trembling at the gate of bliss;
    Holds fast the door, yet dares not venture
    Fairly to open it and enter?
    Whose definition is a doubt
    ‘Twixt life and death, ‘twixt in and out?
    Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
