Stealing Heaven

Famous quotes containing the words stealing and/or heaven:

    All stealing is comparative. If you come to absolutes, pray who does not steal?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
    When June is past, the fading rose;
    For in your beauty’s orient deep
    These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.

    Ask me no more whither do stray
    The golden atoms of the day;
    For in pure love heaven did prepare
    Those powders to enrich your hair.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
