Surprise Guest

Famous quotes containing the words surprise and/or guest:

    There is something very solemn in the thought of a great spirit like hers entering the spiritual world which she did not believe in. If we are right in our faith, what a blessed surprise for her!
    Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897)

    But must I confess how I liked him,
    How glad I was he had come like a guest in quiet, to drink at my
    water-trough
    And depart peaceful, pacified, and thankless,
    Into the burning bowels of this earth?
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
