Stole

Famous quotes containing the word stole:

    “Come pensive Nun, devout and pure,
    Sober, steadfast, and demure,
    All in a robe of darkest grain,
    Flowing with majestic train,
    And sable stole of cypress lawn,
    Over thy decent shoulders drawn.
    Come, but keep thy wonted state,
    With even step and musing gait,
    And looks commercing with the skies,
    Thy rapt soul sitting in thine eyes;
    There held in holy passion still,
    Forget thyself to marble,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Now you strike like the blind man; ‘twas the boy that stole your meat, and you’ll beat the post.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Confusion now hath made his masterpiece!
    Most sacrilegious murder hath broke ope
    The Lord’s anointed temple, and stole thence
    The life o’ the building.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
