Famous quotes containing the words stealing and/or heaven:
“While he hears in every spring
How the birds do chirp and sing:
Or before the hounds in cry
See the hare go stealing by:
Or along the shallow brook,
Angling with a baited hook,
See the fishes leap and play
In a blessed sunny day:”
—Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)
“In this first heaven of knowing,
The flesh takes on the pure poise of the spirit,”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
