Stealing Heaven

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)

    God preaches,—a noted clergyman,—
    And the sermon is never long;
    So instead of getting to heaven at last,
    I’m going all along!
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
