Sweet

Famous quotes containing the word sweet:

“And all now is war
where so lately there was peace,
and the sweet brotherhood, the use
of tilled fields.”

“So the soul, that drop, that ray
Of the clear fountain of eternal day,
Could it within the human flower be seen,
Remembering still its former height,
Shuns the sweet leaves and blossoms green;
And, recollecting its own light,
Does, in its pure and circling thoughts, express
The greater heaven in an heaven less.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“That sweet city with her dreaming spires.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
